Jack and I are so saddened to hear of Linda’s death. The picture you chose is so lovely, and seems to reflect her caring for people. She loved her children dearly and was such an effective and empathetic counselor during her years as a volunteer at Birthright, now A Woman’s Concern.
Our condolences, Jay, Beth and Martha.
