Linda:
I will miss your love, caring, and thoughtfulness and the way you treated me like a son and my family like yours. I will also miss your frequent emails letting me know how life and business were treating you. And I will look back on the times we were able to get together for dinner when I was in town. I confess that the Holiday Inn in Fairfield would not have been my first choice. However, logical and unpretentious as you were, you knew that the steaks and wine were good and it was quiet and convenient; a great place for friends to get together. I am sorry that Joe, Dorcas, Sherry and I were never able to meet up with you in Napa like we talked about. I know that with you as tour guide we would have had a great time. So this will remain on my list of things to do. And when we're there we will toast one for you. All our love.

I regret not being able to make our last lunch/catch-up session, but I'll remember all of the others. Linda will always be a good friend, co-trainer, and a uniquely beautiful person who will remain with all us in spirit.
