May 10, 2026 at 4:02 amLinda, I want you to feel my absolute gratitude for your being my friend when we. Were younger girls. You made me laugh SO hard! You were unfiltered, very smart and super adventurous with me. Remember when we played dead in the street until we saw headlights of a car (on Woodford Rd) then jump up and ran so-we wouldn’t get hit? For fun? Yeesh you shared your secrets with me ( and that felt deeply special )…& your mother was like a comedian (I think ). You grew up beautifully , incidentally. I miss you & am sorry you got sick. Don turned out handsome, too! Last time I sAW YOU was in an apt the two of you rented…I think before a hurricane. Don was at work when I came over. After the hurricane you told me all was well, because the insurance allowed you to get some new things! Ever the optimist. Wasn’t sure if I should look in Texas or Cincinnati.
Glad I found you & hoping you died peacefully …I’m SURE your wonderful heart 💝 has gone to heaven. I’m waving to you, sending everlasting love & hoping Don is alright, too. He was spoiled with a talented smart positive quick witted person (you). I do think you deserved the apparent good life you made. Hugs forever from my heart to yours. If you can reach me, I’m available now. For whatever is the greatest good. Thanks for the honest friendship. It was a good one, wasn’t it? I love you now & always.
