Paul and family, I am having a hard time believing my cousin is gone after seeing her in Feb for that brief visit. She will at least be in my memory from that time, smiling, giggling and being the Linda I have always known. Every time we spoke she was always so upbeat , so positive , never complained about anything. She was a inspiration for me. Her battle is over,she is at peace now and I will miss our talks. My love to you all and celebrate her,the loving wife,the fantastic mother,the great friend, the wonderful person that we all loved.
Paul and Family—–I am speechless and heartbroken for all of you. Linda and I had some great conversations and she was always optimistic and a fighter with her diagnosis —we shared alot . You and the family was always special in my heart—I have felt blessed to have known all of you . I spend you my deepest condolences and love and prayers. May God give you the strength during this time.
Sincerely Dr Mindy Dice-Shah
Paul and family, my deepest sympathy to you all, on you loss of Linda, Mom and Grandmother.
She was always full of fun, enjoyed her visits here to Rhode Island, with the children and being with her Rhode Island relatives. She fought the fight, and now rests in peace. May all the wonderful memories and love you shared, sustain you all in the days ahead.
Peace and God Bless, Aunt Pat Brow
