It's been a long time since I have seen Linda. She was my foster sister for 7 or 8 years when I was in elementary school. My mother kept in touch with her and her sister Donna all these years and has many fond memories of them. I know they helped take care of all of us kids (6) and were a major part of our family during the time they lived with us. My prayers are with your family during this time. God bless you. Kim Hunter
