Dear Tom, Rosie, girls and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. We will miss her so much. She was our favorite neighbor ever, and we all loved her—including our dogs Jack and Miles. I missed our walks after we moved out of the area. She was a fellow warrior for social justice and I loved going to concerts with her.
I know how much you are going to miss her. Linda was so caring and a great person to talk to. She was always willing to lend a hand and was...

We are very sorry over the loss of Linda. She was devoted to her family and always humbly shared her energy to volunteer for others. Her ongoing devout faith strengthened untold others and her commitment to St. Clement’s Church and the greater community will long be remembered. It was always a reassuring comfort to families served by Linda and the generous volunteers of the parish’s Arimathea bereavement ministry. May she rest in peace.
