"I was best acquainted with Linda many years ago. As a high school junior, Linda was brave enough to enroll in my physics class at Jefferson High School. During the following years, I fellowshipped with her at church. In later years, it was my privilege to assist, as a member of Habitat for Humanity, in doing house repair for Linda. She will always be remembered for a brave smile and positive attitude. Bob Wolfe"
