Linda was a smart,pretty,funny lady with a zest and curiosity of living and fighting for everyday G-d gave her. She had an open mindedness to alternative medical healthcare and I picked her brain of what she was doing for her Cancer condition,not disease. She made me laugh and never asked for sympathy but was an efficient(perfect performance with the least amount of time and energy) and smart performer and fighter.
Linda lived with cancer in harmony of living life. I was jealous my dad,who died in 6 months of a cancerous brain tumor in 1984,did not do what Linda and Tom did together in a loving,healthy and long relationship with each other and with G-d.
Linda was a champion in my eyes and always looked at the bright side of life with a child's wonderment of life and learning.RIP

Linda's friendship was a blessing from God and I will always cherish the time we spent together. She was a wonderful, generous friend, my mentor, prayer partner for almost 25 years, sister in Christ, teacher and confidant. She was a true Christian, a peacemaker, helper. She taught me to serve God. She was well organized, always seemed to have or could make whatever was needed for any situation. She was one of a kind and I will always praise and thank God for bringing her into my life.

Dear Tom, I was so sorry to hear about your beloved Linda. May God give you and your family His peace. Although I can't attend the memorial you will be in my prayers. You are indeed a brave man of God and I respect your willingness to bring to the attention of evangelical Christians and others, as to violation of human rights and the suffering of the people of Palestine. I share your concern and your willingness to bring this message to those who, if they only could see as you have seen, the mistake we make by seeking violence in stead of peace in regard to the men, women, and children of Palestine.
