Bill died on November 5 2009. Linda became known to everyone as Mom; children, grandchildren, friends of the children and grandchildren, everyone called her Mom. Through the years her home became a refuge for lost boys, confused girls and pretty much anyone she encountered who was down on their luck. She took them in, gave them a chance to work hard and get on their feet. She was a brilliant woman and no one left her presence without having learned something of value. She loved music and most people who knew her can speak of her knowledge of music history. She, sometimes called herself a “Dylanologist”. Her favorite quote from Dylan was “He not busy being born is busy dying”. She worked hard her entire life to take care of her family. There were hard times but Mom kept the home warm with her love. Her children learned to embrace the abundance of a life filled with music and literature. A casual memorial service will be at Casey’s home on Saturday June 28. 4:00 - 7:00. Expect plenty of music and great stories. In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that you send memorial donations to Ukuleles For Peace. https://www.ukulelesforpeace.com/ Please send family condolences and sign the guestbook on this website.
