I worked with Linda at Plainfield School District #202. My fondest memory was her love for the movie Titanic. May God bless you and your family during this time. And may those special memories give you peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I very much enjoyed working with Linda at Tellabs. We shared many a great conversation and she was always upbeat no matter what life threw at her. I wish her peaceful rest knowing that she touched many in a very special way.

My deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I worked with Linda at Tellabs and she had the kindest heart. We talked about everything, but one of our favorite topics was motherhood. Everyone knew Linda's love for her kids was unconditional. She will be missed and I pray that she has found peace.

Our deepest sympathy John, Michael, Ashley and the whole family --- you all have been like family to me and Casey. We have made so many memories together which I will always treasure and she will always have a part of my heart and that is were she will be now. She was such a good, kind, generous, loving mother, grandmother and friend -- she always put everyone before herself. She will be greatly missed -- I truly believe that she is now an angel in heaven who will watch over us. I am sure that she will find peace there and no more suffering. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and your family. We love you guys --- once again our deepest sympathy for the loss of your MOM.
Love, Casey & Lydia

I worked with Linda at Plainfield School District, but we did not keep in touch once she left so you probably do not know me. I was very shocked to see this. My sympathy to your entire family, with a special thought to Michael. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
