To Linda's family, I am sorry to learn of her recent passing and what must have been a difficult time for her and all of you. I grew up as a friend and neighbor of Linda and shared some happy times with her as teenagers and classmates. She dreamed of becoming a clothing designer and used to draw the most beautiful outfits you can imagine for paper dolls and for teenage girls to only dream of wearing. It's sad that we lost touch. I wish peace to all of you.
