So sorry to learn that dear sweet Linda passed away. We spoke on the phone about 3 months ago and she told me about her work with the USO and discussed her wonderful years of teaching. She was always pleasant and a big smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Many classmates of Linda's U. City Class of 1959 have written notes in our class e-mail of sadness at her passing and of memories of the lovely person that they remember in high school.

Rest In Peace dear friend. We were privileged to have known Linda through mural USO works. Her dedication to the USO and our military was unsurpassed in commitment. Thanks for the memories and fun times. We'll miss your smile and humor.

Linda was my funny, spunky, admirable friend with Irish blood at Hawthorne School and throughout our U. City jr. and sr. high school years. I was looking forward to a warm greeting at our 60th reunion in a few weeks. May God be with you, Linda.

I was blessed to have known Linda, who I first met years ago when she would attend my cooking classes at St. Louis Community Collage. What fun she was - always bringing a smile and a zest for living, which was contagious. You could always count on having a good time when she was in the room. I will always remember he with a smile.
