I have been so lucky to not only know and love Linda, but also to be dear friends with her daughter, Lisa. Despite living across the country, Linda’s love and connection with Lisa and her family was felt everyday. Through Lisa, I have experienced Linda’s incredible legacy of love, joy, positivity, friendship, family and love of books! Linda was a light in the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know her, and Lisa is the same way. I love you all, and I am so sad and sorry for your loss.
