Linda Wildhagen Russell

I am so sorry, I just saw this, and wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy for your whole family. I remember Linda, and all of you, so fondly and so often. I am remembering Linda, and holding all of you in love and light.

I loved you the day I met you! You were so funny, so wild, so beautiful, so full of energy! I think of what a great single mom you were to Pam and Bill. How proud you were of them! How much they loved you! Yours was a spirit of joy and optimism. Your resilience was amazing, and you landed on your feet over and over. I will miss you greatly! But I am eternally grateful you had to accompany Pam to Bolivar Island. A great , life-long friendship started on that school bus. I love you forever.❤

I was introduced to Linda in Dallas back in the 1980s through a mutual friend. Linda was so much fun to be around. Engaging, quick witted, smart, energetic. Good grief, we had some great times at numerous social events. The news of her death in yesterday's Dallas Morning News was shocking and sad. Dang, Linda, the world is a little less bright without you. Hail and farewell.

Prayers to the family. I had the privilege of working with Linda when she lived in Pittsburgh. She was a kind and generous women. She will be missed.
