Stan, I'm so sorry for your loss. To find such a beautiful person to share your life with and then have it cut so short,she's still with you. Be strong and be there for her.

I have known "The Post Twins" for nearly fifty years, having attended both grade school (St. Ferdinand '61 and Notre Dame H.S. for Girls '65) with them. Who could not immediately recall their social natures and willingness to be part of everything. Known for their natural and extraordinary dancing abilities, these two gals would lead our class in "The Stroll" at parties and grade school reunions. Linda, thank you for your fun and caring ways. Pat, as I thank you for that also, I extend my heartfelt sympathy at this profound loss for you and all who also loved Linda. Please try to feel all the love that surrounds you.

I was truly saddened to hear of Linda's tragic death. I met Linda a few times and she always had a wonderful smile and gentle way about her. She was the type of person you felt you knew your whole life. She was gracious and a beautiful woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

With all the love and kindness Linda had for everyone here on earth I'm sure God has given her a very special place in heaven.

We didn't know Linda all that well, only met her briefly a few times but found her to be a very gracious and personable lady. Even though we barely knew her, she was most welcoming. Stan on the other hand I know for virtually my entire life, and I know just how much Linda meant to him. Stan we are so so sorry for your loss and pray God gives you the strength to get through this tremendously difficult time.

I honestly cannot find the right words to say at this time. I feel as if I lost my own mother. Linda would always refer to me as her third son. I have known her and the boys since I have been 8 years old. She was an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. I always respected her and how hard she worked to provide for her sons to give them the best she could. I spent many of days at their home growing up. I sit here today 29 years later with the greatness sadness in my heart. I love you Linda and I will deeply miss you. God bless you and I will always have a place in my heart for you.

It was wonderful to read all the other entries from people who obviously knew Linda well over the years. Clearly she was still the great gal we all loved as one of the popular 'Post twins' in our high school days. So sad to hear of the tragic loss for the family. Our thoughts are with you.

I worked with Linda at the hair salon and even though we knew each other a short time she was truly a special person who cared so much about all of us at the salon. It was evident that she enjoyed her work and was so supportive to anyone. She will be missed so much.

Linda and my Dad (Stan) were together for over nine years. She was a wonderful woman and always brightened the room with her smile. To have her taken from us so suddenly has been the most difficult thing I have ever seen my Dad go through. I will never forget her. I will never forget her first Christmas at the Matusiak's. I sat next to her and as usual everyone was just being themselves and she whispers to me " is this normal?" I said just wait it gets better. About 20 minutes later she looks at me again and I said " still normal" We have a very unique family and Linda fit right in. I am a better person for knowing her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this difficult time.

My prayers for you to get through this terrible time. Words cannot express the void I have at this time. My husband dubbed her "crazy Linda" because of fun loving personality and the kindness for everyone around her. May she now have great peace. She will be our guardian angel because of all the hearts she has touched

I wish more than anything that I could physically be there for the services to comfort and be with Mark & Courtney, Linda's sister Pat and all of my family (Bolek's). Just know that my many, many prayers and I will be there in spirit during this very diffucult time. I will always remember the many wonderful family gatherings and good times I have shared with Aunt Linda. Linda was a very kind hearted and wonderful person and it is so surreal to believe a tragedy such as this has happened to the family. My prayers are with all of you! Love, Missy Bolek
