Linda was a great friend in nursing school- we enjoyed so many fun times with her. I was so happy to be one of the bridesmaids in she and Doug’s wedding. My deepest sympathy and prayers to Linda and Doug’s family.

It was with sympathy and sadness that I learned of Linda’s passing. We went through Allentown School of Nursing together where I became aware of her quiet unassuming and compassionate ways. The world lost a shining light. My condolences are with her entire family.
