Farewell Linda
We are very sorry to hear of Linda’s passing and that she lost a courageous battle with ALS. We’ve not been in touch for many years but do remember the good times we spent with Linda and Roger. As couples, we shared the same wedding date of Oct. 15, 1966. We in Massachusetts, they in Wisconsin.
Truly,
Tony and Sandra Gasbarri
