Condolences

  • Linda was such an amazing lady with such talents. Getting her Doctorate later in life was incredible to me. I was honored to work with her giving her voice lessons as she was always growing and learning. She will be missed.

  • Hi Eddie,
    I’m so sorry about the passing of your sister. She sounds like an amazing woman. Hope all is well in your life.
    Love,

    Linda is likely making beautiful music in heaven as she did on earth. I love her and appreciate her for her never ending kindnesses to our daughters as their piano teacher. And she was a sweet friend.
