I was so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. My deepest sympathies to the Garofalo and Schnepp families. I grew up in Ingram and was one of many childhood friends of Linda. She was a kind person with a beautiful smile. May you find peace in special memories.

I grew up with Linda as a dear friend .Linda was fun to be with and always so thoughtful . We went to different High Schools but we would visit for sometimes more than an hour after she got off the bus at Admiral Dewey. I moved away and lost contact with her. I was in touch with my other childhood friend just recently after many years and asked if she knows of how Linda was. She forwarded me the news.
To the Garafolo family and the Schnepp family I keep you and Linda in my prayers. I'm so sad I didnt keep in touch with her.
May you find peace knowing she's not suffering and is with you.
Sincerely,
Maureen Ely

I had the pleasure of working with Linda for 12 years at Duquesne, and I can honestly say she was one of the kindest souls I have ever met. She offered a smile and a greeting to everyone she met; she was always cheerful, welcoming, and kind. She brightened the lives of everyone she met, and her loss will be felt keenly among us all. It's just not the same without her. We love & miss you Linda.

Although we only worked in the same office together for about three years, Linda made a lasting impression on me. Running into her was always like walking into a ray of sunshine, even when I had not seen her for months. She made a point to come and visit me every now and then in my current office. Dear Linda, you will be missed. May God grant you eternal rest, and let the perpetual light shine upon you!

Linda was one of most beautiful souls I've had the pleasure to know. Always having a warm and welcoming smile and concern for others. She was an Angel during her life and will continue watching over those she loved from above. To her family I express my deepest sympathy for your loss as no words are sufficient at this time to bring comfort.
