From Jackie and Michael Norris across the miles and time, we wish you condolences to Linda's family and friends. While we sojourned in Philly we entrusted our boys (Matthew, Daniel & Adam) to Linda's loving care. Good times at Penn Academy sports were shared (and even broken wrists at the time - correct, Timmy?). Our trust was well rewarded. Remembering Linda's backyard Pennypack Zoo (and boys tumbling downstairs fighting). Be well.

To the beautiful Wathen Family : Your Mom was a special gift to her family. She loved each of you,Joey, Wendell, Ian, and Timmy, more than life itself. You were very blessed to have her as your mother. Although the pain of losing her is very deep just remember that she is now free from pain and with her beloved Wendell and the rest of her loved ones.
Mama Linda will always be with you so pray to her and call her whenever you need help. She will be there for you. Love to you all. Ms. DelRossi xoxoxoxo
