Al, Milissa, Uncle Tony & Robert,
No words can ever explain how I feel about the lose of one of my dearest friends. I met Linda through the DelFino's and we hit it off right away.
Linda became part of three friends that called themselves Muke, Duke & Luke. Linda was Luke. No one will ever take the place of our Lukey. She will remain in my thoughts and prayers forever.

I went to school with Linda and Bobby and she was always so pleasant. I remember one Saturday I visited her at her house and it was the first time I ever saw a cat actually use a toilet and not a litter box. We all thought that was so cool. It was like show and tell for Linda. I haven't seen her in so many years because I live in Florida now. I won't forget that show and tell day. She was wonderful and my heart goes out to her family at this difficult time. Bobby, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Marilyn (DiMartino) Loiselle
