I will miss my sister, Linda, but I will keep the memories of the fun times we shared. Linda was a very special person who cared deeply for her family and would help in any way she could. She was my older sister, my matron of honor, my son's godmother, and one of my daughter's biggest fans. She was also my best friend. I love you, Linda!

I met Linda in the summer of 1969 at Ann Arbor Computer. She left that company in the spring of 1973 and moved to Phoenix. I moved to Phoenix a year later and we worked together at Motorola until our department was closed at the end of 1975. She found another job within Motorola and I moved back to Ann Arbor. Linda and I kept in touch over the years. Whenever I was in Phoenix for any reason I would try to see her, and whenever she was in Ann Arbor to visit her family she would usually find time to get together with me for lunch. Linda was a good friend and I will miss her.

We'd lost touch since I left Motorola, but meeting her was one of the best things about that crazy place. What a great colleague she was, always ready to help and to ask the right questions to keep us all on track, but loose and confident. The world is a lesser place without her in it.

A good friend has left us all too early. Linda was a witty, hard-working, smart, sweet, honest person. She never said a mean word about anyone. She was always there to listen. She was the most good-natured person I've known. I will never forget her sweet smile. I bet hiking in heaven is fantastic....;)

Linda was the best sister any one could have. I miss having her around to give advice to me. My kids loved their Aunt Linda.

Larry,
My brother-in-law Larry told us of your wife Linda's passing. I never had a chance to meet Linda or you when visiting Susanne and Larry. My sister, Susanne would frequently talk about having a nice visit with her neighbor Linda. I would like to express my sympathy to you in the loss of your wife.
