Linda. It is incredible how much I miss you, even after several years have gone by. It's amazing how much old friends mean to us. On the plus side, and you would be pleased about this, I have gotten to know your wonderful sister, Rita. It's an online friendship, but I would love to meet her in person.

LInda dear, it's almost a year since you left this plane and and how you are missed. You were so loved by so many, including, of course, me. I really miss our frequent phone conversations about music, animals, politics, and life. There was really nothing we couldn't talk about. I hope you are happy in your new residence. Merry Christmas.
