I will miss Linda so much. When I talked to her on Friday she said she was sorry she couldn't go to the ballet I had invited her to because she had a dinner date with some friends. But, she said, "Call me anytime, you know I'm up for most anything." Linda loved the Lord and so she answered his call, and I'm sure she was immediately welcomed home.

I have known Linda for the last 11 years as her veterinarian. First with Doofus, her goofy and very sweet dog and now with Sam and Sweetie Pie, her 2 kitties. She always came in with a smile on her face and was a pleasure to work with. All of us at the Delmar Animal Hospital will miss her and send our condonlences to her family.

Dear Melissa and Christopher: I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed serving on the board of Friends of Five Rivers with your mother and often asked for advice when I spoke with her at town hall. We will miss her very much at Five Rivers.

To the Family of Linda Blattner - Our very deepest sympathy at this time of loss. Linda was a wonderful, genuinely, warm & caring person & I am so glad that I reconnected with her through some of the Class of 1964 get-togethers over the past few years. I will always remember her big hug, as will my husband who got to know her within the past year, or so. She will be missed by all of us. Sincerely,
Barbara and Elvery Veal

Christopher and Melissa, My sincere and heartfelt sympathies at this difficult time. I knew your mother since 4th grade and was always impressed with her good humor and sincerity and honesty. Over the past four years I have gotten to know her even better, as she was a regular at our Bethlehem Central girls-only dinners, and considered her a friend.
Her shining quality was her compassion for others, her willingness to help those in need, and to never complain about her own troubles. It was always about the other person. We'll all miss her bear hugs and encouragement and ever smiling face. She was a lady of good deeds and love for others, and this alone no doubt got her through the gates of Heaven. She was a graceful spirit, and for those of us who knew her well, she graced our lives.

To the Blattner Family, we are so sorry to hear the passing of Linda. We have fond memories of her smiling face always waiving as she drove her car by our house every day to work while we waited to put our children on the school bus. We also had fond memories of seeing her outside of her house while walking our dog and she would always be smiling and waiving. She will be missed.

Our sincerest condolences, Jack and Kim Dalton, neighbors
