Dear Wayne and Family,

I am saddened to learn of Linda´s passing. She was an exceptional teacher, coworker and friend. It was my honor to serve children with both of you. She touched the lives of many students and staff members in the Pepperell community. May God grant you peace during this difficult time.

I was sad to hear of Linda's passing. She and my sister Waynette were friends and school classmates at Sparta Gramma through High School while Ben and I were friends and classmates in a grade behind them.

I also had the privilege of taking Linda to the Junior- Senior Prom in 1962.
