I too must thank Colleen for the link to what I believe is one of the most beautifully written and authentically accurate descriptions of a life of love. My strongest memory of Linda is one marked by her amazing smile emanating such joy and light. Reading what others have written confirms that my experience was echoed by those who had the good fortune off knowing her whether for a lifetime or only the short time of our Regina experience. Thanks to everyone who has shared on this page! Rosie 💕
So well said Rosie. And to think we were so close in Florida. I wish I would have initiated a get together with Regina alumni who were spread around in Florida.
Such a loss. I remember Linda as being that wonderful person who floated between the cliques. She made everyone feel important, a somebody who mattered. Whether that was shy, feeling alone, misplaced, etc. 70 is too young to die. We know that now. It appears she lived a full and happy life, so for that we can be grateful. Fly high lovely lady.
Mary Rose, I'm just going to echo your comments, which were so beautifully put. Linda made everyone feel special. I counted her as a close friend and now I see that she made everyone feel that same way. Imagine having such a powerful gift at such a young age - and she carried it with her throughout her life. What a gift God sent us!
Linda's memorial celebration of life service is Friday, 5/6, at 3pm Central. Greg said it would be live streamed. I sent a message to the church asking for specific info for finding it. I'll post that if I receive it.

She'll be interred in a lovely space outside the sanctuary. I intend to visit her when I'm there next March. There's a little less light and joy in the world since her death.
Thanks Colleen, I enjoyed watching it. Maybe I'll get to Sanibel one of these days and visit that church
I think about Linda and know what an incredible person she was, and realize how lucky I was to be in her orbit.. Does anyone know if there is a Celebration of Life happening in the Twin Cities somewhere, or maybe it has passed..
