I knew Linda from Theater. We were in several plays together and did a duet acting scene from "The Fourposter" in speech competitions. She was a wonderful person and it saddens me that she has died. I told my wife that Linda had died and reminded her that she had met Linda years ago at a dinner during a class reunion. Her response was, "Was she the one with the great laugh?" She was. I will miss her.
tribute by Scot DrysdaleLinda was a staple of the drama club at RGHS. It could not have survived without her and all her hard work. Linda was the most giving person I know from my high school days. She accepted one and all with unconditional support and caring. I was so happy to reconnect with her on Facebook and enjoyed our "Chats." I can't imagine my high school days without her. May she rest in peace and meet again on the other side!
tribute by Cathleen Porter {Alley}Linda is one of those people in your life that inspires you to be your best. She must have been born with a gene that makes someone promote the best in a person. She, too, was the best person, loving and giving, to family and friends. I will miss her but know that we will meet again.
