Linda was a good friend of mine in the later 70's. I will always remember her for her great sense of humor, and bodacious laugh. She was a fine person who loved pop oldies and her family. I met Linda, as she was the next door neighbor of a co-worker of mine at a popular record store in Tempe. With all that music, we saw Linda often. God bless her. Jon Kerr

I am so very sorry to hear of Linda's passing. We were new teachers together at Heatherbrea in the late 1970's and she was such a wonderful teacher. May you find comfort in all the love she gave.
