Stuart I just now learned and I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Linda in Vegas. She was beautiful and so full of life and excitement. She was very kind and helpful to give me tips of etiquette to socialize with the upper management. I remember she was excited about taking dance lessons . Again she was a real beauty. I am very sorry . She was taken way too young.

To all of Linda's family, but especially to Big and Little Stuey, I'm so very shocked and saddened by Linda's passing, and due to being so far away I didn't even know that she was sick or had passed until it was too late. Please accept my sincere condolences, and know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. She was a great lady and friend, and her memory will always make me smile.

I have known Linda for 14 years from renting beach houses from her at Ocean Lakes. We finally met there once. She was a gracious and loving woman. Ocean Lakes will not be the same without her. God bless her family and especially Stuart.
