One of Linda´s first jobs was a babysitter to me remember her reading animal stories out loud to me in the days of black and white television. Pleasant memory!

I remember working with Linda at RGH. My husband and I visited with her in Las Vegas in 1999. Linda gave me a gift of plants before she moved west. She and Warren had a lovely home with a dry river bed and an adopted turtle which they looked after. She will be missed by many friends that she has acquired through the years. Rest In Peace. I still love her perfume!
