She will be missed

I am so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. We worked together for several years (many years ago) with what was then called SRS (now DPHHS). She was a great person and good friend. We kept in touch off/on and it was always good to hear about what was going on with her and the family. I’m so sorry that I won’t be able to visit with her again in this life. My condolences to her family and fur babies.
