Rest in Peace, Linda. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Paul and the rest of the family.
I will miss you no matter where we were you were always on my mind. I will never forget you.
God bless you Linda. Will always have our childhood memories close to my heart.
Dear Paul-I know it’s been many years since we were in touch. Life happens and we all sometimes end up in different directions. No rhyme or reason. Having said that, I just wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear about Linda. Paulie, you two were the fairy tale that came true. You climbed up that proverbial tower and rescued her and she rescued you right back. She was your support after we lost Granny and she never left you. You, in turn, gave her the peaceful life she often longed for, the respect she never got before and you made her dreams come true! How happy she was not only with you but with all the children. I remember when the two of you showed me a scrapbook you started where you were going to make your own memories. I’m sure you filled that one and then some. I know it’s difficult right now but I hope you will be able to smile at those memories and the exceptional love you shared. They say our memories are what sustains us! I hope Linda rests in peace and God Bless the both of you. I no longer live in Northvale (I’m with my daughter and her family)but please know that my thought and prayers will be with you on Saturday.
Our deepest condolences.
Sending prayers of love and comfort to all.
Mikey, I didn’t know your mother Linda, but you being a product of her love, she must have been an extraordinary woman because you reflect the kind of woman she was. My sincere condolences to your entire family and to those of whom hearts she touched.

To Michael, Robert, Renee, Shannen, and your grandchildren Alaina,
Summer, and SeanCru… and your immediate family.. God Bless You All…
