Linda was one of the most caring people I ever met. Her personality and love of people and especially her family was very special. I missed her so much when she left York but was so happy for her. Scott and I will always cherish all the great times at Mr. T’s and seeing her at Weis Mkts. Greg and family we send our prayers of comfort to all of you.
