Alan, Nancy and Mr Ziter, So sorry for your loss. I remember Linda very well. She is no longer suffering. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time.

Uncle Louis, Alan and Nancy, I cannot tell you how sorry I am that Linda had to suffer so much and of her loss for all of you. She had a smiling face whenever I saw her and the picture you put in the paper is the perfect picture. Tom and I will be there tomorrow but just wanted you to know I am thinking of all of you today too. My heartfelt warmth and sympathy. Judy

I cannot begin to say how sad this makes me and everything I try to come up with sounds hollow, trite, cliched. Then I tried to come up with some memories of Linda. I'm her first cousin, second born, like Linda though there is 11 years between us. MY mother always referred to me as her cross to bear, and I'm not so sure that Linda's mother didn't feel the same way. Anyway I used to visit the Ziters in the summer and I can remember when Joan was trying to toilet train Linda. She would sit for a long time strapped to one of those toilet seats that we had in the old days until she went. It was a little "closet" toilet in the kitchen on Winter Street. Linda would sit there laughing, talking to anyone who went by, leaning out to see the action. Finally she would "go" and she would be "released". My aunt always said that she held it on purpose. Then there was the time Linda found a frozen night crawler in the yard and bit it in half...her mother threw up. I love that story and I don't know if it's even true. I think I'll miss Linda's laugh the most, it could fill up a room. She'll be missed by everyone who knew her

So sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I have many fond memories of our time in grammar school and high school. My condolences to the Ziter family.
