Not sure what to say?

Dear Ollie and family,
I just heard about John's death today. You were both such good friends to Dad and Mom. I kind of picture them up there together having another hunt with Ginny - John was the one who finally figured out that you had to keep her on a clothesline so she would be within range.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know he was the Dean of the obstetricians for many years, and deserved that title of respect from his colleagues.

Dear Linn Family:
I just heard of the death of your beloved husband, father and grandfather.

Dr. Linn was my doctor and I consider myself the luckiest woman in Milwaukee to have selected him at random out of the phone book. He delivered our three girls, the youngest of which has Down syndrome. He was so supportive during that frightening time, sharing his experience as a physician and a father. I have thought of him often over the years.

Our family wishes yours...

Dear Ollie and family
My prayers and sympathy go out to you.
I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Linn. He was the best boss I ever had. He was my Dr. and my friend. He danced at my wedding, delivered my children and helped me through many crisis. It was my privilege to have him and his wonderful family in my life. GOD BLESS

Dear Ollie, dear children,
If I had encounter 3 angels in my long life, John was at the top of the list. Thank you John for your friendship. Leonardo Aponte

I didn't know Dr. Linn, but his daughter Clair and I graduated from Dominican HS in 1974. My heart goes out to his family, and it is my hope that his memory will be a source of strength for them all. I know how lucky they must feel to have had such a wonderful father.

To Claire and all of the Linn family--my deepest sympathies to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr. Linn delivered all four of our babies....yes, I delivered but, he was there for me 100%...especially in our last birth which was an emergency c-section. He sat by us afterwards and talked for a long time. He always acted like he had all the time in the world. He was a kind and giving man and will be remembered by so many. Our condolences to everyone who is a part of his family. He was so proud of all of you.

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to the Linn family. Dr. Linn delivered me 43 years ago and he also delivered my first child. I was 16 when I had my son and Dr. Linn made that experience as easy as he could for me. He is in my prayers,he was a great men and I know he left quite an impression in this world as he will in his next life.

On behalf of my parents and brothers, our deepest sympathy from the Bowen's to the Linn family. I find it appropriate that I send this message as a direct result of his having brought me into this world! Your families are in our prayers.
