To the Looby & Silva Families,
Anyone we love who loves us in return does not die. Take comfort in the belief that love and the memories of Linda will eventually overcome the terrible grief and sense of loss we are all feeling. We will always remember our cousin as a caring, fun-loving, respectful and wonderful human being. We will cherish the countless good times we enjoyed with her in the past, and more recently the long distance phone conversations. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Linda was one of those people who when you met her you knew she was special. With her inviting smile and sense of humor she had a way with making people feel like an old friend. May it bring comfort in knowing she touched many people during her time here. My sincerest sympathy to the Looby family.
