We are so sorry for your loss. Linda was one of the happiest people we ever met. She loved her family and lived ever day to the fullest. She lit up a room, just entering it. Hard not to smile, laugh and enjoy oneself, when you were with Linda. We feel proud to have been among her co-workers and friends. We will miss her terribly, but know she is in good hands. Love, Mary Lou & Tom
My thoughts and prayers are with Linda's family and many friends.
I have worked with Linda through the years at Abbott. She was always smiling and friendly. She taught me many things about the Abbott systems she knew so well. She went out of her way to help me no matter how busy she was. Always with a smile and a kind word or a funny story!
She was a wonderful person and I will truly miss her.
Linda, I have thought about you so many times since you left Abbott and I am still thinking about you. You were my favorite planner I ever worked with at Abbott and fortunately, I worked with you over the course of many, many years. You were outstanding at your job and so much fun to work with. I will never forget all the times you said "remember, Mare", and usually I did not remember, but you always did! My heart goes out to your family, for having lost you. Love, Mary
It was with great sadness that I read of Linda's passing while traveling last week. I will always fondly remember and appreciate her strong support on the many projects we worked together on here at Abbott. Her knowledge, dedication and sense of humor got us through many challenging times. May she rest in peace in the presence of our Lord.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Wally and Jane and all of Linda's family. I want you to know you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
GOD BLESS YOU
It was a pleasure to have known and worked with Linda. Her determined and fighting spirit was evident to us all as she battled cancer these past two years. God bless you and your family. We miss you already.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Sally and all of Linda's family. We want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Barb, Stacey, and all the employees at the Nicolet Bottling Plant.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Jim, and your family. Linda was such a fun, energetic person. I am blessed to have worked with her and to have been her friend.
I have so many wonderful memories of Linda, and smile when I think if her.
May God bless you and your family.
I am very sorry for your loss.
It seems almost incomprehensible to think Linda is gone. She was not only a coworker, she was a friend and I will miss her greatly. The world was a brighter, happier place when Linda was around. And my admiration for her only grew with her valiant fight but, with her passing, I also felt a measure of relief because she was no longer in pain. Linda, you fought a brave fight but the time to rest has come. Know that we all love you and miss you.
Linda, you were always like a mother to me. I will miss everything about you. I was so fortunate to have you in my life. I will always love you and will think of you often. Lots of Love!
Diane and Heather
