There will never be another restaurant quite like Linda's. I do miss having breakfast or lunch at the "Spur". She had a special way of making you feel welcome. Her meals were always delicious. She hired the best cooks & waitresses. Always so friendly & efficient. Her business ran like a well-oiled machine. RIP Linda.

I met Linda in1982 when my late husband, who was a teacher at Soquel Elementary took me to her restaurant around the corner from the school. She was a fixture in my entire married life, and she was, as everyone knows, Wonderful. Good food, and spectacular company!

I met Linda through my old friend Genevieve Langua at the Silver Spur and Linda´s Seabreeze. Her food was high quality and she had a gift of cooking tasty, well put together meals. Bacon burgers were the best and all her breakfast items! She was an incredible woman and nice to all. She was a mentor to Tex who owns the Seabreeze and the woman who owns the Cowboy Cafe in Watsonville and the food they serve reflects that. I miss her kind soul!

Everytime I drive by the Spur I can still see Linda & Patti (in my minds eye) standing behind the counter with their wonderful smiles on their faces. I miss them both.

Linda was a wonderful person with such a wonderful smile. She made everyone feel welcome and loved. It made me so sad to hear she lost her battle with cancer.

Linda was a close friend in the 70's. She brightened. I will always remember her smile, her sense of humor and her ability to make instant friends. My heart goes out to the family.

Linda and her family provided so much love and support in helping me deal with the loss of my sister, Patty Conway, and were there throughout her illness and passing. For that I will always be eternally grateful. Just an example of the love and compassion Linda gave to everyone she cared for. Our family's deepest condolences go out to Mike and his family.

Oh how I miss the Silver Spur and seeing Linda busy keeping her great restaurant running like a well-oiled machine. I always marveled how well managed everything was. She put Chicken Salad sandwiches on her menu from time to time at my request. I will miss you, Linda. Rest peace. You made so many, many folks so happy at breakfast & lunch time. You made each and every one of us feel special. What a gift. Rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Linda's passing. We love her. She was so great in sharing her love with us, over many years. Bob own's the Heavenly Cafe property in Scott's Valley. Bob and Linda shared a love for serving people, as restauranteurs' and members of the Santa Cruz community. We moved away 2 years ago, but she kept in touch, still sharing of herself and caring about us. She loved her family and sent pictures of her sons wedding. To her family, God bless you all. We realize this is a tremendous loss for you. I'm sure that you know that her memory lives in your hearts and ours, along with some of her recipes. Her recipe for a lovely life and the joy and caring she extended to our lives will continue always. Love to you all, Bob and Vi

Linda was a wonderful caring friend. She worked with my Mother for many years at Carniglia Brothers on the wharf, my Mother and my Father and myself loved Linda, we followed her at every restaurant she worked at or owned, the last being the Silver Spur. Linda loved my Mother and Father, Tom and Millie Brewster, I would take them to The Silver Spur often before they passed. We loved her pancakes and bread pudding. Linda, we will miss you, rest well in heaven and please hug my Mom and Dad for me. Sending love and prayers for all of Linda's family and friends. Debbie Cassel
