I worked with Linda at the court before my retirement. She was a very thoughtful and special person and always handled her cases with professionalism and compassion. I'm so sorry for her family and friends that she had to leave so soon.

Dear Al, Dennis, Donald and Extended Grimaldi Family:
I am so sorry to hear about the recent passing of your sister Linda and want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I had a long conversation with Lind not to long back at your cousin's business Better Electric. My wife met Linda and mentioned how pleasant she was. My reply was if you knew her parents you would understand the entire family is just like her.
She mentioned she would be moving to Willows which is close to my house and a place where my family and I often take walks.
Your entire family was wonderful neighbors and friends.
Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss of your sister Linda.

Sincerely,
John Cleary and Family

Albert, Dennis, and Donald I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was so fun to be with. When Ma and I were there in 2008 Linda was there to take us wherever we wanted to go. She took vacation time to be with us. A couple of days before we came home Linda and I decided to go shopping without the Moms. We had a bet how long it would take before they called looking for us. Sure enough an hour later they were calling... what are you two up to?We had a lot of fun that night. Rest in Peace Linda. I love you. Your Cousin Elena
