Linda when I heard of your Mom passing I felt an overwhelming sadness,
She was truly a gem and will be missed by many.
Rushing to memory came her smile and laughter as we talked about the Avenue, the Hill, "Uptown" I really enjoyed those times.
Please know you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

John,
You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Over 40 years ago when I moved to Pittsburgh, your mom was one of the first friends I made while working on 10 Tower. I have thought about her often over the years. She will surely be missed by many.
