Linda Sanders Obituary
Linda S., 54, author, editor and writer, died Oct. 20 of breast cancer at her home in Cincinnati. Linda's passion was children's literature. Her picture book, "Maggie's Monkeys," celebrated two very powerful forces: love and imagination. She is survived by her partner of 24 years, Howard Wells, and their daughter, Abbie; her parents, Robert and Sue Sanders; two brothers, Neal Sanders and Alan Sanders, a sister, Laurie Sanders Squire; plus the community of friends she formed through her generosity of spirit. A celebration of her life will be held 5-8 PM Thurs., November 10th at Grailville in Loveland, Ohio. See www.grailville.org for directions.

I did not know Linda for very long; we did not see each other very often. But despite this, she had become a special person in my life, someone I felt I would always go to for advice and encouragement. She was so very good at it! I will miss her terribly.

I feel your capacity for kindness, creativity and compassion filling my heart every day, dear friend. And I'll keep your picture close to my computer, so I can continue to look to you when I need an editor.
I am holding Howard and Abbie and everyone nearer to you in my thoughts every day. Your deep love for them was so evident every time I spoke to you. You will be so missed.
