    I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing, She was such a nice person, I have not been active in Phi Beta Psi sorority for many years, but I did feel the friendship Linda shared, whenever we saw each other. I know that she will be missed by all the people whose lives she touched.

    The Orleans Chapter of Phi Beta Psi sends sincere sympathy. Linda helped out many times at our Style Show/Salad Supper. She was such a sweet lady. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

    Linda was a very sweet and special lady...she always greeted you with a big smile and open arms for a big hug! When Fred was alive you would see them sitting on a park bench or at the grocery store walking side by side enjoying each other as if they just met. She will be missed by her son Brian and the grandchildren and she will be missed by all the other people that she has touched through out her life. But,now she is in Heaven...I Love you Linda!!!

    Brian. So sorry to hear about Linda. I know it was really had on her to lose Allan and she hadn't been in good health for awhile. We go back a long time: church, her parents & mine camped with the NiteOwls. She was a good person and will be miss by all that knew her. You are in my thoughts & prayers.

    My heart is heavy as I write this, although I know you are at peace and with your loved ones without pain, I can't help but grieve that you are gone. You were so kind and loving and caring. You will be missed. You already are.
