Linda Draghi Lapin

Still miss you everyday Linda; your smile, your laughter, and your friendship.

It's hard to believe you are gone so long. I think about you often and miss your smile and our fun times together even when you were sick. I see your smile in your grandchildren yeah and am so proud of your son and his wife and the beautiful family they have created. You would have been in the Center of this beautiful family.
Miss you my friend.

It was a pleasure meeting Linda, I will miss your smiles, and beautiful teeth at the office. We would not be able to discuss American Idol or Yankee games, but I will always keep you in my heart. You were wonderful.
Rick, you did your best and you did everything a son can do for his Mom. May god bless You.

Even though it has been 27 years since I graduated from Westhill H.S. There are some names and in particular teachers that you will never forget. Miss Linda Lapin was one of those who happens to be one of those special educators. She helped me tremendously with her dynamic lessons in English to set the foundation for some of my future and present day gifts in reading, writing and public speaking. My sincere condolences are to her family and friends for such a great loss of a great person,...

Dear Lapin Family,
I am writing to extend my condolences on the loss of your love one. Mrs. Lapin was a fine english instructor and I often thought about her thinking back on my high school years at Westhill. I was in her career english class in 1979 and my class sponsored a "surpise baby shower" for her son Richard. I will never forget the surprise look on her face and she cried with joy. Everytime I hear the old disco song by the "Village People" "YMCA" I think about Mrs. Lapin...

My heartfelt sympathy at your family's loss. I can remember like yesterday playing "Superman" with Ricky in the back yard when he was a toddler. Where did the time go? One can only be saddened by the loss of another member of what I fondly remember as the Suburban Avenue family I grew up with. Best wishes at this time, I have no doubt her spirit will carry you through this difficult time.

We wish to offer our condolences to the Lapin and Draghi families at the loss of Linda. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God bless your families and Linda and may he comfort you in your grief.

Although the miles are great , we felt as though we knew Linda quite well . We are so very sorry at her passing but know she is at peace with the Lord .
