Dear Adler and Rotche families,
My deepest condolences on your loss. I also pledged Gamma Phi Beta with Linda and have only great memories of the crazy times at ISU and Linda was always at the forefront of those memories. I haven't seen Linda in many years but I had hoped to reconnect with her once life slowed down. My loss.
Rest in peace Linda Lee Row-shea.

Rotche and Adler Families...No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. It has been many years since I have seen Linda. The Linda I knew back in grade school and high school always had a smile to share and was a great friend. I hope wonderful memories of her will comfort you during this difficult time.

Its been so long and I know we lost touch but I can't forget the childhood memories we had together. Ponderosa. Your laughter and smile are still seen in my mind's eyes and I will hold that most dear to my heart. My deepest sympathies to your loved ones.

Dear Adler Family,
We never had the pleasure of meeting Linda. We do, however, have the pleasure of getting to know her daughter, Ashley. If children are any reflection of their parents' character, then kudos to you. God bless you. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Adler family.
Sincerely,
The Then Family

Dear Nick and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I hadn't seen Linda since our QAS reunion many years ago. She made me laugh then, as she had a million times throughout grade school and high school. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.

Dear Linda,
You have taught me so much about life and most importantly... caring. You were a wonderful big sister. Thank you for always watching over me and making sure I was alright. I now know that you are finally at peace and happy. Please continue to watch over all of us. Until we meet again, I love you Linda.
Your little brother.

Dear Nick and family,
Linda and I pledged Gamma Phi Beta together, and shared many, many fun times at ISU and shortly after. I have fond memories of her smile, the twinkle in her eyes and her contagious laugh. She and I had a cultural exchange of sorts... she taking me to the big city for the very first time and me taking her to small town USA for a little rural culture shock! I still remember the look on her face when she witnessed my Dad and brothers butchering hogs in our garage!!
I deeply regret that time, distance, and busy lives were allowed to keep us from staying in close contact. I am heartbroken for your family and will keep you in my prayers... that you can find peace and comfort.

My deepest condolences to all of Linda's family and close friends. I was in Linda's sorority many years ago and have fond memories of her. She had such a huge smile, a sparkle in her eyes and a terrific laugh. I know she will be missed by many and feel blessed to have known her.

Dear Nick and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I hadn't seen Linda in years, but this photo of her brings back so many memories of her joyful, playful, one-of-a-kind spirit. I trust that her spirit lives on, more joyful than ever before. And I wish peace for each of you.

For all who truly know Linda, you will understand this moment. Linda and I were once at Sunset Foods and had to navigate about 6 feet of plowed snow in order to go to a meeting. We were late. Fearlessly, Linda grabbed my arm and dragged me through the snow bank saying, "Now we will learn about being late!" Linda just kept going ahead as best she could. I so enjoyed her spirit when it was whole.

I was saddened to learn of Linda's passing. My heart goes out to all those who were fortuinate to have Linda touch their lives. She was my sorority 'big sister' and the memories of her big heart, together with her big smile and laugh will forever give me joy.
I can only offer my deepest condolences to Linda's family and friends. Sincerely, Marla Minow

To all those touched by Lindas life and saddened by her death, she is at peace. She lived as best she could while battling a disease without mercy and cure that felt out of reach. Please know how much she loves you; I know for a fact she knew she was loved. We never had a conversation without her bragging about her children; ALWAYS! Most importantly hold the strength of her spirit and the joy of the good times close to your heart. We will not fully understand the depths of her challenges until we meet again.
Take care of yourselves and eachother; there are no answers, but we can learn from her experience.
XOOXXOXO

Mara called to tell me of Linda's passing. We are both so sad, but know that wonderful lady who was loudly lauded by her, then, 5 year old son at a soccer game...shouting from the bleachers--"I love my Mommy!!".... that fun loving Mom is peaceful and cheering for all her kids from above. God Bless you all- Janet Merutka
