It does not seem possible to me that it has been 10 years since Linda has passed. I can honestly say that I still think of her and miss her all the time. Every morning at work she would come to my desk to tell me what was going on in er work area and ask me if I needed her to do anything. After that we might chit-chat about our personal lives a little. Or talk about the birds we were feeding or the hummingbirds at our feeders.
She was truly my friend and I loved her and miss her!!
