Linda Orellana

Oh dear Linda, I am so sorry I didn't keep in touch with you better. I only found out of your passing today, your birthday. I am so sad, but I know you are in a better place now. To Rick and her awesome circle of dear friends and family, May Christ grant you comfort and peace.

Linda you were always a joy to work with and i loved getting to know you during our time at Fabkids together. Our work paths crossed so many times at Gap Inc and then Fabkids i was lucky to be able to drink champagne and french cheeses with you so often at work!!! you will be missed.

Linda was a wonderful mentor, manager, and friend. She taught me so much - from the intricacies of childrenswear to what delicious things to eat in France to the importance of prioritizing personal life and family. Though we worked together for a short time, she made every day fun and I'll hold the memories of our time together close to my heart. Linda was such a bright spot in this world and was taken from it far too soon. She will be dearly missed.

Linda was a remarkable woman. She taught me so much even though we only overlapped in our careers for a short period of time. Not only did she teach me things about her craft (where she was highly skilled I might add!), but she also taught me about who I wanted to be in my own life. She was the ultimate role model- confident, strong yet fun-loving & living life to the fullest at every opportunity. Linda met the challenges she faced with cancer with so much strength and grace...she was taken...

Linda was a dear friend and she will be missed beyond measure. She was such a creative soul, and so very talented in everything she touched. She took on cancer with a positive outlook, much grace and tremendous courage. She will be forever in our hearts and fond memories. Love you Linda.

A truly wonderful lady who lit up a room with her smile and cute laugh. Linda was a special person and will be missed.

My heart is broken at this news. There is a list of people that I am looking forward to seeing post-pandemic and Linda was on it. I will miss her creativity and encouragement, and the world will literally be less beautiful (and well-coordinated) without her.

I knew Linda from the days when we both danced for the San Francisco Basque Club. I rarely saw her, but I kept up with her via Facebook and I loved her creative and fun posts. She inspired me with her beautiful designs. I'm so sorry. We lost her too young.

I remember Linda very well from Presentation High School. She was an exceptional student, very intense, and very disciplined. She had high standards for herself, which I admired. What a sad thing to hear that she has passed on.
