Dear Jack & family, I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed playing canasta with you & Linda. I always enjoyed her wit and great sense of humor, when I was able to get her as a partner. I will be praying for your strength & comfort in the rough days ahead. With Deepest Sympathy.

Linda was a wonderful person. We spent many years working together. Although we didn't keep in touch I thought of her often. As a co-worker she was funny, caring, hard working and kept everyone in line.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
