DEAR LINDA,

I WORKED WITH YOU YEARS AGO IN THE EARLY 70'S AT COUNTY DRUGS AND ALWAYS ADMIRED THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR YOUR FAMILY. EVERYONE WHO WORKED THERE WAS CRAZY ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HIGH ENERGY.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF YOUR HUSBAND AND FATHER OF YOUR SON, MARK.

I WAS GLAD TO HAVE KNOWN YOU BACK THEN AND WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
