I'm so sorry to hear this news, I worked with Linda when she was Asst Director for the Nboro school district, she was lovely and taught me a lot as I was new to the education field. My sincerest condolences during this very difficult time.

Warmest Regards, Ellen Tobin

So sad to hear of Linda's passing. I graduated with her from SJC and walked with her at the Seymour Pink Fund raiser. She was a gentle, caring, intelligent woman. The Class of 72 will miss her dearly. This happened too soon

So very sad to hear of Linda's passing. I graduated with her from SJC and walked with her at the Seymour Pink event. That was just a month ago. She was a gentle, caring, intelligent woman and all of us from the Class of 72 will miss her. This loss came too soon.
