Linda was my first sister-in-law, and the best! She married my brother Kishor in the '80's and had my sweet niece Sasha shortly after. Though they divorced a few years later, Linda was beloved by my parents B.M and Pushpa Oza owners of the Himalaya Restaurant in Windsor, and us. Linda was kind, and had a simplicity about her that made her so very graceful. I will not forget the Christmas shopping that us girls did ... or her peanut butter pie! Rest in peace sweet angel. Love Purnima
