Dear Chester, So glad Frances let me know about Linda's death and that I could read her story on this site. I was amazed to see her picture! She is the same lovely girl I watched at both the rehersal and wedding at the Church in Charleston those 53 years ago, as I sat at your sister's side. I hope you remember me as your family is so dear in my memories.

Dear Chester, Laura, Suzie, Bob and the entire family. Linda was my dear friend and the first person I met 44 years ago when our family was transferred to Charlotte. We have had many wonderful times as friends, and I will miss her. It was my honor to know her as she was loving, thoughtful, and always helpful. A beautiful Easter basket she made is a treasure.
