Hartford truly was blessed to have Linda always there, always present, always so filled with joy and many creative ways to engage the public. She was a beautiful person, very loving to all she met and those fortunate enough to call her "friend." I am so sad that I did not keep in touch with her as the years passed since I ended work in Hartford. Her friends and family are fortunate to have had this bright beacon of a soul among us. How much dimmer the world is now without her in it. Let's take a page from how she lived her life and let's perpetuate the love and gusto she so easily shared with all and multiply that many times over. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this sad time. I am so happy and feel so fortunate to have known, worked with and called Linda "friend." Rest in peace my friend.
