It was such a pleasure to know Linda and her awesome family. Since knowing her over the last few years, I never saw her without a smile on her face, and I could never drop a crumb on the ground without her being right there to pick it up! She was loved greatly by her husband, children, many longtime faithful friends, and all of us Brookdale employees. To the Dosch family: I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Linda. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!
Much love & God bless, Sarah

She was a great role model to those of us at Good Samaritan School of Nursing that learned a lot from her. I was class of 1964. Remembering you Linda with great respect and friendship.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Dosch Family. I did not know Mrs. Dosch but I do know her son Greg and his family. If Mrs. Dosch is any indication of the kind of person Greg is, then she was an outstanding person. I am so sorry for the families loss. May you have many wonderful memories that will last forever.
