Dear Fred, Sean, and Brea,
I just heard the sad news of Linda’s passing today and my heart goes out to you. I met Linda at Wheat back in the early 80’s and she quickly became a dear friend. Her love of music and family was a beacon to me. She was the most gentle person I’ve ever known. I know she’s with us forever, yet my grief spills over. We are all so blessed she was in our lives.
Fred, you and Linda were the first people in my life who taught me about living with an open heart and I cherish our friendship deeply. You are the embodiment of friendship and love. I’m grateful beyond measure to have been able to spend a bit of time with Linda recently and tell her how much I love her. She has always been such an inspiration to me and her peace and clarity in the midst of what her body was going through moved me deeply. I love you all and you are eternally in my heart.
Jai Linda!
Namasté,

My heart is broken, Linda was such a sweet person. I worked with her at Wachovia Sec and started talking to her when my husband was a manager at the Jewish Mother. She always talked about her children and grandchildren and had so much love to give. I will miss her and I'm so sorry that she is gone, but I'm glad that she is not suffering anymore. She is with Debbie now and I'm sure they are having fun! God bless her family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Fred our heart goes out to you not having Linda here to see and talk with. But I know you cherish the time you did have together. You and Linda are two very special people and you were truly a couple. Linda leaves a beautiful footprint on this world through you, her children, grandchildren, friends and others she meet. Everyone should hope they leave this world a better place than when they came as Linda has. Fred we will continue to get together with friends and talk about all the times we had. Linda will live on through all of those her love her. Linda, Stu and others have gone ahead to start the party waiting for the rest of us.
Love ya,

Linda, we have been friends for a very long time. You are always a joy to be around, nothing but smiles. Even during this illness you remained positive in our conversations. You are in heaven now with Debbie and I am sure you are relieved, no more discomfort and pain. You guys have a lot of catching up to do. I will miss you on earth but we will meet again. Until then, I love you and you will always be in my heart. Your family is in my prayers, as you have been each day. No more prayers no more pain. You are now at your destination. Save me a seat!!

Doreen and I both felt that Linda was one of the warmest and friendliest people we knew and worked with over the years (and years). She always kept things in perspective and life in balance. We will always remember being with her and the conversations immediately turned to you, her family. She will always be with you and in our fond memories.

Dear Fred, Sean and Brea. My heart is broken, but I am unlifted just knowing that God has brought our Linda Gail to a place where she no longer knows any suffering. I can only imagine the celebrated reunion she is having now and I hope she gave "Stu" a big old kiss (like she told me she would do) when she saw him!!!!
I will truly miss My Linda!!!!
Love Always,

Fred, Brea & Sean, I was truly sad when I hear of Linda's passing. She was a beautiful individual. Once you met Linda you did not forget her. She was an individual who left a good impression on you. She was one of God 's flowers in the earthly garden that was fully grown and is now needed in heaven to share her beauty and blessing in the heavenly garden. She will be truly missed, but if we live our lives the way that she did we will see her again. Brea and Sean you know how much she loved you and her grandchildren. Fred words can not express the love that Linda had for you.
I am so sorry that I will not get back in town in time for the service. You will be in my prayer.

I worked with Linda on many associate moves within First Union and Wachovia Securities. She was so efficient and a pleasure to work with. She always had a smile on her face even if the end users made another change at the last minute. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and her many friends.

My sympathy to Linda's family. Linda and I worked together at Wheat/First Union/Wachovia since '95 and she was the kind of person you could always rely on. If she said "yes", it just got done, no matter what. She was also a lot of fun to work with. She will remain in our memories.
