I was so sad to see Linda's passing. I worked with Linda for 32 years in ED at HVH. Linda was so Kind, sweet, and helped me so much as a new nurse, when I came to work in ED 1974. I came to love her very much. I never saw Linda upset or mad about anything. She was always calm and so steady. Always the same in whatever situation we were in. I loved working with her, and again loved her so much. I missed my friend , co-worker and thought about her a lot over the years after moving to North Carolina. She was always an example of love and friendship. I know she loved her family with all her heart. Linda will always be in my heart, as one of the best Friends and Co-worker I have had the honor to know and work with Until we meet again my sweet Friend. .Love Joan

Linda was an amazing woman. I worked with her in the ER for many years. She was such a delight to work with, and she kept us nurses and doctors on the straight and narrow in the midst of chaos. She will be greatly missed by so many. Rest peacefully my friend. This is not a "goodbye," just a "See you later...
Sending prayers for comfort, peace, and strength to her family...

It is with great sadness to learn of our loss of a very special person. I worked with Linda for over15 years. She was the center of activity in our ER and was my resource for most everything. She was a hard worker and always did the right thing for the hospital. I will miss that little woman who was larger than life. Thank you Linda for all you did for me. I love you and hope you will find peace in the arms of our Lord. You were a wonderful person and friend.
