It is heartbreaking for me to know that Linda has passed on. I knew Linda as a good friend and colleague at Merck for more than 30 years, and although we lost touch in recent years after our retirement, I will always remember her for her kind nature, quick wit, and warm, friendly disposition. My deepest sympathy goes to Linda's family and closest friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers. The passage of time helps to ease the pain of loss, and although we will always miss her, the warm and happy memories of Linda's time with us will remain with us forever.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Linda's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time. In the years we worked together at Merck, Linda was respected and admired by everyone who worked with her. She was always professional, hard-working, and genuinely friendly, a real "classy lady" who we will all miss dearly. May are fond memories of Linda bring a smile to our face as we will always remember her.

When we remember Linda we will always see an image of that great smile of hers with that bit of gleam in her eyes..a loving sister to Carol and Susan and a friend to many.
