John, We are so sorry for your loss. Linda was a very personable and friendly woman. Carol & I remember so great time we had over the Knights at some of the weekly functions. We have a tape of the night that the hypnotis was there and Linda was sitting in the back of the crowd and unknowingly she was hypnotised and became the star of the show. We again are shocked that Linda has passed at a very young and enjoyable age. Again we are very sorry for your loss.

Dear John, Jennifer, and Linda's Brother and Sisters:

Be assured of my prayers for all of you.

I had Linda, either at Sacred Heart Grammar School or Blessed Sacrament School in Worcester.

She was as sweet as her beautiful picture.

Linda now enjoys the happiness of heaven with her Lord. May this be a source of comfort to you.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

David Fahey
