Bill, I just saw this for the first time. I am so sorry that you lost Linda way too soon. I will always treasure the times that I spent with you and Linda at Starseed. I hope that you and your family are well.

I also met Linda through the same writing club. She always encouraged me and brought interesting pieces. I enjoyed her wit and imagination. She will be missed. My thoughts are with you at this time as well.

Linda was a creative, kind-hearted person. I knew her through the Oshkosh Area Writer's club and wrote well-written inventive stories. I found her to be kind, but also steely when she needed to be. She will be missed at the meetings.
