Clark; daughter, Heather Clark of Concord, N.H.; twin sister, Lorraine S. Coakley of Plaistow, N.H., twin brothers, Robert Young of South Thomaston and Richard Young of Livingston, Texas; granddaughter, Trinity Bryanne Clark; and many kids who called her 'Mom.'

Dan,Heather and Family:
I will always have fond memories of the fun times We had with Linda playing pool , the interesting conversations and swapping stories while at the same time trying to keep track of the score sheet. She made our pool games more than just a serious competition. She made them a friendly social event as well. She will be missed .
