As you all know Linda brought so much love & happiness into this world. I worked with Linda for close to 8 years & we loved to make each laugh. She always called me her "blue-eyed son she always wanted", so I referred to her as my adopted Mom. I will cherish her friendship forever. I will never forget her. All of her family will be in my thoughts.

Nancy, Tracy and Andy,
You must know Linda was very, very special in my life and I will miss her. For 16 years we shared stories of you guys and my kids and now grand children. Our last exchange was only a couple of weeks ago with a goofy picture of my daughter and grand daughter and I truely felt it brought her pleasure.

Nancy, Tracy and Andy,
I can't remember how long I've known Linda. I always called her my Mom away from Mom. She was always happy, smiling and had something nice to say. Linda was one of the few people who knew how to handle me, and understood me, and that's what made her one of my favorite people. I think she had that affect on everyone who knew her. It makes me feel good to think about the times I made her laugh at the goofiest things. She is going to be missed, and tears will...

Nancy, Tracy and Andy,
Many happy memories are left with me. Your mother's pride of her children and grandchildren. A turtle found it's way into my heart and will remain as a reminder of my special friend, your mom.

I've worked with Linda for the last 6 years at Wm. Tao and Associates. She always had such interesting insights on everything from literature to politics. I have the origami crane and Japanese coffee cup she gave me on my desk at work. I'll miss our lunches at San Sai and her wonderful sense of humor. She was a truly unique person and I feel blessed to have known someone so special.

Dear Linda Tao's Family
I only worked with Linda a few short months but I grew to love her very quickly. She had such a sense of love and peace about her. And, she was a fighter -- now, she is in the arms of God. May you all find the same peace of God as you pass through your mourning.

My thoughts are with you now and in the coming weeks and months. I will remember your Mom with sincere admiration. She had a wonderful humor about her that I will never forget. Many will miss her.
