I just found out about Linda’s passing.  While we lost touch the last several years, she was an immensely influential part of my life.  You always feel like you will have time to reconnect….It makes me sad for her family and those that loved her that she is no longer around to spread joy through her laugher.   I am sad for myself that I am not able to tell her how much I appreciate her taking my brother and I in without hesitation and treating us like family.  As teenagers, we didn’ always appreciate the guidance, but as a mother myself now, I value the lessons learned.  I am truly sorry to hear of both her illness and her passing.  Rest In Peace dear Linda, till we meet again.  Tina

Benders and Jones… Linda or Linnie-pooh as I called her was my best friend ever for 50 years. I met her when she was the CNA in the nursery for my first son Michael… The next year I was back working with her as an LPN on Maternity in St. Joseph Hospital. We became fast friends her, me and Linda Beam… we called ourselves the “Three B’s”… we had a wicked ride during the late 60’s and early 70’s… It was the best!! Going to the shore in the summer, partying on the weekends whenever the feeling hit us… I miss her, there was no on else like her on earth. I am so glad she got to celebrate Michaels’ 50th birthday this past June with us. I love her and her spirit will live on thru those of us that love her. May her journey continue to make her laugh and smile as she leaves this realm for the next.   <3
I love you with all my heart Linda Bender Jones!!
