My sympathy to Linda's family. I was friends with her in high school and I still have the picture from the Bridgerport Post of us all volunteering at Bridgeport Hospital. It's like it was yesterday. I'm glad to see that she had such a good career and a lovely family as well. God rest her soul. Diane Barabas Dillman
