years, Carol Lefevre. Linda was a great lover of animals, especially her puppies. She loved walking her

dogs, Charlie and Bailey, along the section of the green belt of Winchester which connects with Jubal

will be placed there in her memory. In lieu of flowers, Linda requested that you give a donation to Blue

See Condolences

My condolences to her partner Carol. My heart aches for her loss and our loss. Linda was my bridge partner for 3 years and a dear friend for longer. She will be a loss to all of us. She was a kind, loving person who was always thinking of others. She had a tremendous sense of humor and a ready laugh and a hug for others. She will be greatly missed. Ginny Fluet

To Carol and all of Linda's family I extend the deepest of sympathy. Nothing will ever compensate for your losses. You will be in my thoughts during the coming weeks and months as I hope you receive love and strength from the caring of those around you. I am glad Linda's suffering is over. Sadly, yours has just begun. Sincerely, Robin Pedlar

Linda's smile, her laughter, her love for life will be greatly missed. May patience, strength and courage find you in this moment of grief. My life was greatly blessed to have met such a wonderful, compasionate lady.

I had the privilege of working with Linda on health care issues a few years ago. It became clear to me that she was one of those stalwart people that the rest of us rely on to help our society be the best it can. I know she will be greatly missed by those who knew her, but also that her passing is a loss to many who never knew her. I extend my condolences to Ms. Lefevre, her spouse, and to her family.

I only recall meeting Linda once when she came out to California to see her niece, Zoe, perform in a musical show. She was very friendly and enthusiastic about the show! I know she will be missed by all her loved ones.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I have been remembering our glorious days At Crawford High rock on my old friend.......:) Roxanne Class of 1970
