To Thom and family, I will always remember you and Linda, as neighbors in Voorheesville, and as a fellow faculty member at UAlbany. I have two of Thom's great face art works on my diningroom wall, from more than 50 years ago, and they still get compliments. Linda always greeted me as a long-lost friend when I saw her. These are happy memories, of wonderful people. ... Kathy Kendall

Thom,
What impressed me most about Linda was her style. She was a terrific quilter and an inspiration to me. I will remember her always.

Thom, Sean, Ian and all your family,
John and I are so grateful to have known Linda. She was kindness itself. Many of my memories of Linda are from Christmas gatherings when Thom and Linda would welcome us for some cheer. She made every person feel special.
She was full of love and light.
with great sadness for your loss,

Thank you all for your stories, comments and condolences. I know and understand just how special this lady was, anything she touched, she made better, anything she made was beautiful, and anyone she spoke with enjoyed her company. This list could go on and on, from artistry, to teaching, to cooking, to counseling, to gardening, to all things life in general, she had it all covered, just an amazing person and just so happened to be my Mom. I will remember her and sow that in my kids and family for the rest of the days I am here on earth. I miss you terribly Mom, Love Ian.

Thom and Linda were among the first to make us feel welcome when we moved to Albany and we've always appreciated their kindness. Later, our daughter was lucky to have her as a teacher at the Heldeberg workshop, where Linda taught her how to sew. We'll always think of her when we see the bear they made together.
Thom, you and your family are in our thoughts,
Amy, Danny, Ella and Anna

Tom, it was such a shock when Alice called and told us about Linda and it's still hard to believe. I''m so grateful that Alice located us after not seeing or hearing from anyone for at least 50 years. I'll never forget talking to Linda for the first time and she asked, "Lynn, has your hair turned grey yet?" "Yes, indeed it has." I felt like a third roommate at FSU although I lived across the hall from Linda and Alice. Those memories are wonderful to go back and visit. It was a great time in our lives filled with fun, laughter, and of course a little studying. Linda will always be remembered as a kind and thoughtful person. We were blessed to know her and share a little in her life.
God bless, Lynn & Larry
