Another huge loss. What an awesome, awesome smile and laugh she had. And fun???!!! I can still see her riding her horse at the stables on Hollister.Sheila Shepard might remember when Linda died - it was sometime around our 20 year reunion.

I will always remember Linda's smile. When I see her name her bright smile is in my mind instantly and she was always smiling.James Madget
I can still see her swimming her horse at the sand pit. Her entry in my yearbook still makes me smile. What a spirit she had.George Satterlee
Sheila (Shepherd) Whanger provided this remembrance:Linda and I were rehearsing a duet act, for Claude Cook. It was from "The Bad Seed". Linda was playing the angry/demented young girl and I, her mother. She was to exit through a side door while shouting over her shoulder and slamming the door behind her. She was doing a great job until she slammed her tongue in the door!! Not too many people could have managed to do this. Instead of crying or shouting out in pain, she started giggling. That was Linda Lou - always laughing and bringing joy to others.
