I worked with Linda and we quickly became friends. We would talk for hours. Linda was good for keeping your feet firmly planted by reminding you to be that things always turn around and nothing is a sure thing. I love her and will miss her and our hours on the phone.
Even though she wasn't my big sister, she treated me like one. I remember Linda playing her Beatle records and teaching Sandy and me how to do The Twist. She would style our hair in the latest up-do's and never one time did she give the slightest hint we were a bother. Linda always made me feel welcome at her home on Irving Park. I was so envious that Sandy had such a cool and pretty big sister (and still am:)
I will always be grateful for the caring and love she showed Sandy and her family. She truly was a beautiful person and will be missed.
Aunt Linda was always someone I felt connected to, someone I could truly relate to- more than any other woman in fact (besides my mom of course). Like our similar ways of thinking and mannerisms, our oh-so charming spunk, or our silly way of standing like a flamingo :) Even though I may not have seen her as often as I would've liked, she has always been a part of me and always will :) I miss her so much already and I offer my love and prayers to the rest of the family survived by such an amazing woman.
We Love You Aunt Linda You're dancing with Elvis in heaven right now :)
The greatest blessing one could ever have is to be loved unconditionally. Mom demonstrated unconditional love at all times in all environments. She did not allow the 745 miles that separated our homes to limit the love she had for me, her daughter, and her six loving grandchildren. The measure of a person is not in the gifts they give nor in the things they do, but the lives they touch. Mom will continue to touch our lives forever and always.
LINDA YOU WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYS.
NO MATTER HOW FAR A PART WE LIVE, YOU ARE HERE
WITH ME.....LOVE YOU
RAY
