    Lynn has been a dear friend since high school. I so cherished her caring and positive approach to life. She was always direct and funny, and, even if she disagreed with an opinion or life style, she was totally non-judgmental. I so valued and appreciated those qualities in her. She was a perfect role model for all of us. She will be missed. ~Betty Feth

    It was great knowing Linda. Sharing our childhood on Plainview Avenue and all the letters and emails after I moved away. But meeting up in our old neighborhood in July 2025 was the best. My sympathies to Dana, Drew, Bill and families. Elizabeth {Betsy} Rogers

    Linda was simply a quiet joyous force of nature! She impacted so many people's lives with her generous nature, her calm approach to life changing events & decisions, her ability to demonstrate love to everyone she encountered... whether they knew it or not. Her family is grateful that God heard our prayers and took her to be with Him rather quickly so she didn't suffer long as her body was being consumed by what was "everywhere"! Comfort comes in knowing that Linda is surely being welcomed by those who have gone before her... what deep loving joy she must be experiencing right now. Thank you God... Thy will is done!0

    My sympathies to Dana and Drew. Worked with Linda in Special Accounts and thought she was a smart, strong, funny person and a great service Representative. Mary Incrocci and I were just talking about your mom days before she died. I know she will be missed.

    Linda was such a fine woman! A wonderful mother friend extremely phenomenal coworker! She will be in my heart forever. I will never forget the caricature posters that the telephone company artist made of our special team - comprised of Linda & Cathy & I Major Accounts in Pittsburgh trying to keep jobs local! Linda was one of the brightest women i've ever met! My heart goes out to her wonderful family. I watched Dana and Drew grow up to be fine loving parents. Linda will be missed.♥️🙏♥️
