Linda, I think about you every single day even though it's been 3 years. I wish very much we could talk about every single thing like in the old days. I sure miss you and Lisa. Love, Lisa Z

I feel so much sorrow to have lost Linda so young. She was so loved by her family, husband and friends.

I have known Linda since about 1990. Believe it or not, we met at Bullwinkle's saloon in Tallahassee. Over the years, we had more fun together than I can ever describe. I feel privileged to have been included in her family holidays and special times. The Taits are truly a special and delightful bunch.

Love and solidarity forever with the Tait, Vincent and Running families,

Lisa Zacharia and family

Many of my earliest memories are of growing up with "the gang" on Raa Ave / Great Oak Drive. Linda is a major player in those memories. From school to hanging out in "Nancy's Woods" or the Rec Room the gang was always together. I have always been sad that we all drifted apart as I guess you do when you grow up and move into the world but was very happy to find Linda years later on Facebook and see how she and Marian had stayed in touch. I was (no still am) shocked to hear of your untimely death. I was so happy when I read that you got married and moved to Kentucky. I pray that you found happiness and peace. I will always love you and the times that we shared so long ago.
