I will never forget the love & sincerity of Lynda's precious heart & her deep bond & enduring friendship she had with my daughter, Mary Barrasso. It was something that was so very meaningful to me as a Mother. Lynda & I shared our love for our pets; & her devotion to both Lorenzo & Michael was obvious to everyone who knew her. My deepest sympathy to her entire family & to so many others who loved Lynda. God bless the broken hearts; that they may be healed by the loving memories they will always have of the happiness she brought to their lives.

To Anthony, Edward and the entire Messina Family - I had the privilege of spending many years of my life with Linda including countless hours at the gym and training for numerous contests, attending family functions, and enjoying each other's company. My most memorable moments that will always stick with me is the endless hours she would shop til she dropped in New Hope for an outfit to go out on the town to Zadar's. She always looked her best! My prayers to the entire family during this very difficult time.
