Linda and I shared a grandson, Isaac. Whenever we ran in to each other we would both say, "I'm Isaac's real grandmother". When her condition worsened, I sent her a message: "ok, if you get well, I will let you be Isaac's real grandma"...My heart breaks for both her and my grandson and for all the good times they will miss in the coming years. Linda, I am so sorry you are gone from this world.

Linda was married to my brother Neil for many years. I loved her. She led with her sense of play and humor and loving heart. The first time I met her was at an amusement park. She had her sons, my brother's son and I brought mine. My brother is over 6'. Linda, a bit shorter. :) When I met her in the parking lot she said loudly, 'Neil, why didn't you tell me your sister is so short'? I knew right away we get along, and we always did! You will be missed by so many. I wish you a good journey Linda!
