I still cannot believe Linda is gone. We are coming to Colorado this fall, and I am so so sad we cannot have fun together in the mountains as we did so many times. WE hope to see Steve and express our condolences in person.

Linda was an inspiration for me during my work with KidsHope, and I will always remember her warm, welcoming smile. I feel privileged to have known her. She was a generous and caring soul who will be deeply missed.

Linda Baity was a friend at CSC in Greeley in our undergrad years. She was an inspiration to me although she was a year behind me. One summer we shared a basement apartment and had some great times. Three years later she surprised me by traveling to Steamboat Springs for my wedding. RIP Linda and may your loved ones be comforted.

Linda was my roommate for two years when we were undergraduates at the University of Northern Colo. She was always supportive of those less fortunate. I will never forget how we cared about the civil rights movement and even heard Martin Luther King speak in person. I had just located Linda after more than 50 years. Sorry to have missed seeing her again.

I only met Linda once, at Steve's 40th high school reunion. She was really nice and laughed at all our lame jokes about high school. Most importantly, she seemed to make Steve very happy.
May God bless her and her family.

So many of the best have gone; Linda was one. God bless her for her courage and caring. And God bless Steve, one of the nicest men I've had the privilege to know.

We are so saddened by this loss of a great friend. Linda was always an energetic, generous, and loving friend. She always had wonderful plans for us when we visited Boulder. We will miss her very much and extend our love and sympathy to Steve, David, her mom and brothers, Mandi and her grandchildren who I wish could have grown up knowing her contagious love of life! We are so sorry to hear this sad news.
