I only know Linda through her son Rusty. I know him best through the students who love him. They love him dearly. He loved her dearly. We have our natural families and chosen families. I wish I had known Linda better because I know her son. I know her son because I know his students who have chosen him. Best mom, best son, ever.
May all heaven smile upon their sister and the legacy of love she leaves. Love wins. Might seem strange, but it makes perfect sense to me. IHS, bob
