I had the pleasure to work with Linda at Torrington High School. She was a wonderful cooworker and a good friend, very commited to her students, specially the Hispanish speakers. The last year she was at THS and before the academic year was over she let me have some of her books and momorabilia from her trips to Latinoamerica. Descansa en Paza Linda.
Sincerely,

Armando Zarazu

I was so very saddened to read of Linda's passing. I knew Linda from her years at Bellizzi and enjoyed working with her very much. She was a lovely and caring lady who showed much compassion and concern for the students with whom counseled. She was a team player and gave so much of herself to others. I have missed working with her. I remember Linda as a classy lady who was sweet, persevering, and strong. My deep and sincere sympathies to you for your loss. May God bless you in this time of sadness.

Linda was a wonderful and caring person, I am very grateful to have known her during my years as an ABC Student in Simsbury from 1986 to 1990. She spent many hours not only tutoring me and the others students but also providing sound advice. My sincerest condolences to Paul, Joelle, Lexie and the rest of the family.
During this time of sadness, I hope that you find some comfort in knowing that your wife and mother made a difference in the lives that she touched at the Simsbury ABC program. I will be forever grateful.

With Love and Respect,

Ruben Garcia
