My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I was truly blessed to have so many "Mom"s and "Dad"s while growing up. Although the years move on, and we all move a little further apart, those memories remain close to my heart. Be strong and be well.

I'm not sure what to say except I am truly sorry about the passing of Linda. Even though we have been seperated by time and distance I will always remember the good times we had whether it be camping,lodge, Demolay fashion shows or those spaghetti supers and how could ever forget her reciepe for Rainbow punch. Bill be strong hopefully we can get together when I visit again.

Linda was a very thoughtful, generous, and kind woman. We will miss her. Thank you for sharing her with us. She will be greatly missed by all of the Rainbow Girls and advisors. We shared many good times and much laughter. God Bless you all.

I was shocked to read the world has lost a beautiful person. My Sister Susann and I grew up and went through Rainbow together. So many great memories at Grand Assembly in Springfield growing up. Truly she was then, and has always been a perfect roll model, someone the girls could look up to. I saw her a few years ago at Grand Assembly when we were both Mother Advisors of our respective assemblies. So nice to catch up on the things I miss, living so far away from where I grew up.

Bill and Family:

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Linda. She was a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face. I will always remember my time with her on the Advisory Board for Somerville #17. We had a lot of fun together. When we went to Grand Assembly, people were getting confused and thought I was a Rainbow Girl and not an Advisor. So she bought me a pin that proudly said "Yes I am an advisor!".

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Take comfort that Linda walks the streets of gold and has been wrapped in the luxury of heaven being encompassed in HIS everlasting arms.
She was a wonderful person and a good example of her faith.
