WARREN, BOYS, AND FAMILY, I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR THE PASSING OF LINDA. SHE AND I WERE SO CLOSE AS TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS. OUR PARENTS PLAYED CARDS MOST WEEKENDS AND WE PLAYED DOWNSTAIRS AT THEIR HOUSE ON THE CORNER OF STURGIS AVEUNUE. THERE WOULD BE YEARS AT A TIME WE DIDN’T SEE EACH OTHER AT ALL AS YOUNG ADULTS AND THEN WE WOULD times JUST OUT OF THE BLUE WE’D SEE EACH OTHER AND HAD JUST AS MUCH FUN AND LOVING TIMES TOGETHER.
I LOVED HER DEARLY. HUGS AND PRAYERS TO ALL OF YOU.
