Dick, I was saddened to hear of Linda's passing. She was a special lady and I loved her. It was my privilege to be her visiting teacher for years and I learned to appreciate all her wonderful qualities. I'm sorry I'm not able to attend the funeral, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
