Linda was such fun to work with at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. Linda was outgoing and compassionate and was always there to listen when you needed to talk. Books, cats and jewelry were some of her many passions. She and I lost touch when she moved to Bridgewater. I am heartbroken that Linda has passed. My condolences go out to her family and all who knew her. I miss her.
