To Linda´s Sisters and Family: My husband Jeff and I were friends and neighbors of Linda and Puppy during their years in Madison and continued to correspond for several years after their move back east. A came across some of her letters recently and found this notice. My heart aches. She was such a unique and fascinating person from whom I learned a great deal and shared numerous special occasions - camping in the Baraboo bluffs, holidays and our wedding. I am so very sorry for your loss.
