Another year has passed, things have changed, and Guido, Wolf's and Ludwig's father left us. We have to learn to accept what we cannot change. I am sure that, if there is a way to stay near your family, both of you are there. Carolina

Another year has passed, and your family has never stopped thinking of you. Your daughter celebrated her engagement, and she missed your presence, but I am sure, you were there, near her, and you always are. The world, here, is going crazy and we are having wars and destructions. The country is polarized, and we are out of good leaders. See if you can do something from your better world to help us out. love, Carolina

To all of Linda's family & her children,
I adored Linda! We not only graduated from LFC together but we were in the same sorority (Alpha Pi).
Linda came all the way to my dear late brother's funeral to tell me she met Ted 2 days before he perished on 9/11.
At the time, she didn't realize that my brother and I were related. She stood on the receiving line to speak with me. I looked at her and didn't recognize her with her long straight hair. The last time I saw her was in 1988 when she was called "Linda Rock and Roll" with big hair & a beautiful smile.
Linda took my hand and told me a beautiful story about her last moment with my brother Ted. They were watching their children play soccer together the Sunday before 9/11/01.
I always thought she was a sweet soul in college, but she touched my heart with her support after 9/11. My heart is heavy that she was also taken so young. My prayers go out to her family and children.
I truly believe that special people are taken "young," as they are needed to guide us in heaven. Linda was an angel.
I will forever cherish your memory Sweet Linda.
xxoo, Alex

Linda and I were sorority sisters. Our junior year of college we lived next to eachother in dorm rooms that were converted from janitors closets (!) and shared a bathroom. We did a lot of late night visiting each other between "closets" with lots of giggling. Her laugh was contagious and her smile lit up a room. Please let the image of her beautiful smile comfort you during this difficult time.
