My condolences to Linda Lu’s family. Linda and I met in tech school and I have been
blessed with a wonderful friend for 43 years. We had many many wonderful and
memorable times together. There will be a hole in the musketeers now. Linda was always a faithful friend. She was always busy in her beautiful gardens. There was always one more garden that needed to be tended. Her gardens were a pride and joy for her. She loved her pets and found many ways to make them
comfortable and happy. They were her children. As her friend I will remember her
smart wit, her unique giggle, her spitfire, her generosity, her opinions. There was much to Linda Lu. She was unique and one of a kind and a little complicated. She will live in my heart and memories forever. I wish I could have sad good bye.
