My deepest sympathy to all of Linda's loved ones including her sons and other family members and Gene.

Linda was one of those individuals who left such an impression on everyone she met. She was one of the most genuine, sincere and classy women I've every known. She was a true friend to me during a very difficult time. I will miss her dearly. The world lost a beautiful woman this week and heaven gained a beautiful angel.

My love to all,
Grace Wilkinson
