Dear Holly Family, How shocked we were to hear about Linda through the Harford Assoc. of Realtors. As a past President, they send Kathy emails regularly. Although we now live in the Daytona, Florida area, we will never forget the Cool Spring years of our children getting together both at our house & yours. Our most sincere sympathy along with our daughters Dana & Gina goes to Lloyd, Kirsten, & Grant. Our prayers are with you. The Garry Family
