It was 4 weeks last night at 7 PM since I lost my lover. The tears continue every day and every night. I pray that I wake-up to find that this was only a dream, but her side of the bed remains empty. I only have her smell on the pillows and sheets that remind me how much I miss Linda and what she was for me.
Her smile captured everyone that got the chance to meet her and know what a wonderful person she was. I just can't come to realize that she is gone and how much she did for me and everyone else.
I still have her remains with me and I know that I have to inter her remains shortly as that is what she asked, but it must be perefect and beautiful - as I will join her there.

Linda how you will be missed. However more importantly that you were always a fun loving friend.
I remember being in Las Vegas a ton of years ago and you telling the story about how you couldn't hear John talk another minute. So when he came back to your room you made him not speak the rest of the night. And for those of us that have known John more than 5 minutes, you know he probably couldn't pull it off.
Many other fun times at conventions shopping laughing and eating that will always be with me. Your kindness when I was getting divorced.
I'm overjoyed that you won't be in pain and you will be with your family. Farewell dear one.
Good journey.Posted by Michele Haller from Huntington Beach, CA - Friend on

Linda you will be missed,
Everyone at American Travel Bureau has a heavy heart for the loss of a family member. It’s heard to find the words to express our loss. But you will be missed.
Linda was always thinking of other people, at the office we could always count on the holiday cookies, John would come in and tell us how sick she was after one of her treatments. It would always surprise us when we would come in and on each desk there would be a basket full of cookies and other goodies that she and her nieces would be up late at night baking. Thank you Linda you will be missed.
When they would go on a trip to the next country that she had never been to before she came back and shire her stories with us, and then there was always the key chains that she would bring each one of us. Thank you Linda you will be missed.
The one trip that I felt that she enjoyed the most was the Sandals Resort where they had no time schedule. They had gone for two week and liked it so much that they stayed another week. She came back rested and ready to take on the world. They had a butler that did all the work, and she said that she could get use to that…rest in peace we love you Linda, you will be missed.

Linda was not only my wife, but she was also my best friend, my lover, my true companion - Linda was my life. Our love was beyond deep, devoted and dedicated love. I was obsessed with our love. My obsession ran so deep that I could not leave her alone, not even for a minute. I know our love went through many phases - from lust when I first met her through sincere love, deep love and finally my obsession. Linda was my everything! I never pursued another women - and now I know why. She was much much more than I ever deserved. Linda was so smart, so gorgeous, so talented, so giving and so courageous. My tears run non-stop. I love her so that we called our love the world's greatest love affair - and the world we saw. My lover and I traveled to over 57 countries, more than 60 cruises and we wined and dined with numerous heads of state - and she shopped her little heart out in every country. My eternal love will continue until we eternally become one again.

As I earned her trust and became lovers, I fell in love with Linda and then into a love so deep and so devoted that soon my love for Linda became "Obsessed" I don't even know if there is such a love, but I know that I could not be away from her - not even for a minute. We truly had the world's greatest love affair. I miss her so because Linda was my life. She made me look good. Not sure I can live without her - God knows I miss her so much!

I'll not forget that John and Linda used to travel together wearing matching 'travel shirts". We all had dinner one night at Tom Rohrer's house in Sacramento and they showed up in cute matching blue and white shirts.
When I think of them, I see the devotion John showed for her all the time and her devotion in return. It was always inspiring to be with them together. I felt they together were more than themselves apart.Posted by Jack Lassiter from Palmyra, VA - Friend on

When I first met Linda I was immediatley taken by her spirit and sense of humor. It wasn't until I had already fallen under her spell that I learned of her battle with cancer and the fight within her.
Linda was a remarkable woman. We can all take away a lesson on living from her.Posted by Bob East from Encino, CA - Friend on
