Linda Marie Mancuso

I was so saddened to hear of Linda's passing while I was away. I would have liked to participate in the celebration of her life, and send my condolences to Laura and her brothers. We had many years of hilarious escapades, from the tennis tournaments at Soldier Field, to Spring Breaks in Boca and the Lauderdale runs. She made Woodlands easy to get through. I will miss Linda, but am so thankful that she was in my life. What a battle she fought! She is an inspiration to us all.

Laura, Rob and Rick:



We are so very sorry for your loss. Please accept our sympathy and prayers.

The entire Mancuso family has always been so wonderful to me.

But especially Linda, no matter where she was in Calif or Chicago she was never to busy to send a kind word my way. I will truely miss her beautiful smiling face.

I am so saddened by her passing, but so blessed for having known her.

My prayers are with her and all her family members and friends

Sincerely.

In this screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood town, Linda brought her Windy City sensibilities, mirth and perseverence to work and play and was a major barometer to what was fair, ethical, and most of all quality. Thanks Linda for your friendship and fellowship and most of all your inspiration.

Rick and Family,



Be assured that I will keep you in prayer as you adjust to your sister's new life in Christ.

Linda was one of the finest human beings I've ever had the pleasure to know and work with. I will always remember her smile, warmth and kindness. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends at this time.

I received the news today about Linda with great sadness. I knew Linda well a long time ago but was able to keep track of her fabulous career and her tremendous battle through her large group of committed and loyal friends. She was larger than life and will be missed greatly.

I remember a bright, funny, kind and caring spirit who always had a positive attitude. We played blackjack in Las Vegas all night and called each other by our last names. Your courage was unmatched Mancuso, you are in God's arms now...

I am glad that I had so many recent opportunities to see Linda when she would come to town over the years. Although she was battling a truly tough disease, she displayed the same strong spirit I saw in her when we were classmates at Woodlands. I was always proud of all she had accomplished as a professional woman, but I am most proud of how she lived such a full life with an obstacle that would have limited so many others.

Melissa and I will always remember Linda for her kindness toward our daughter, Caitlin, and ourselves during the production of City Guys.

As grade school classmates at Faith Hope and being debutants together at the Presentation Ball, I am deeply sorry to hear about Linda. I heard about her great strenght and courage for so many years. She will now get the peace she deserves.
