Drew, Maddie and Chuck,
I was sorry but not surprised to learn of Linda's death. I trust once the memories of the sick Linda fade, you can once again remember vibrant , healthy Linda. She was so beautiful on the outside and inside. I feel blessed that our paths crossed in Mt. Gretna. Know that I'm lifting all of you in prayer as you grieve and find your new normal without Linda. Blessings, Bonnie Anderson
