The Sisters of the Presentation who educated your daughter, Linda Molinari '63 Mansouria at Presentation High School, San Francisco, are praying for you, your family and friends. Thank you for your service. May God bless you with love, comfort and peace.

Dear Linda, I want to again express my sincere sympathy on the death of

I visited your folks and the Casellis a few time during the 1980s.

RIP

You were such a big character and we think you missed your calling, but at lease we all had you to make us feel good and laugh. I especially loved the jazzy earrings you wore, and especially one Christmas at the SFIAC. Linda, Bob and Jennifer, she was one in a million. Take comfort in knowing that she will never...
