    Linda was a generous and caring friend. We loved our gatherings with Linda and Carolyn. We met at the Chadds Ford Art Show ten years ago and were immediate friends. She was so proud of her mother and David and loved her family so much. We had many happy times and I will miss her . Sending love and sympathy ❤️‍🩹.

    Linda. as I knew her, was so very kind and gentle-she adored her animals and friends and family and was never embarressed to show it, which is an admirable trait so many lack. Linda will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was a loving presence who will glow in the memories of all. Sending love and sympathy to her family.
