Such a significant loss for the citizens of the District of Columbia. It is an even greater loss to those who loved and knew her. We are all better for having experienced her grace, dignity and commitment to the entire city including those who needed the best that the city had to offer. Linda was a wife, mother, daughter and true sister of the city. May she rest in peace with angels. She will be missed but never forgotten.
