I met Linda through the Ethical Society when i was new to Teaneck. We developed a bond where we enjoyed many lunches, plays, dinners, and movies together with a circle of our friends. I heard she had passed through a mutual friend after I had moved away. I think fondly of our time together and still miss her so wanted to send condolences to her lovely family.
