    I am so sorry to hear this. Linda and I were colleagues at CCHS for many years. She was always so organized and efficient, not to mention friendly and helpful. She will be the best angel ever.

    So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was such a loving women, quick with a smile and kind word, and always loving on her family. This world could use more Lindas! May she rest in peace and fly with the angels as she comforts all of you from above just as she did here on earth.

    Linda was my bestie in high school bc ant Greece Arcadia and I learned then about the amazing, caring, and supportive person she was throughout her too short life. She made it possible for me to go to Junior Prom and helped me so much then and always to navigate the vagaries of life. Oh how I will miss you…as will all who knew you.
