Linda was one of those people who was always a joy to be with. She had a great sense of humor and was so much fun. She never judged anyone or spoke badly about anyone. Linda was the best sister-in-law a person could ever hope to have. We’re so lucky to have known her and felt her love.
We will miss her greatly,
Lois and Greg Micheletti
