I read with great sadness of the passing of Linda. I knew her for several years as a good friend. She was a person who I could share anything with and who would listen and not judge. I lost touch with her about a year and a half ago, and I'm so sorry that she is gone. She will be greatly missed, and I'm sure that her boys miss her terribly. You had a great mom, and I know she loved you a lot. I also know how she loved her grandchildren. I do not know how she died. Was she sick a long time? I pray that she didn't suffer. She did not deserve it if she did, but I know if she did, she handled it with grace and dignity.
