    Jerry and Chris: Deepest sympathy to both of you and to all of Linda’s brother and sisters. I use to live next to Linda and her family in the sixties. Nice family. And later on in life my boys were friends with Christopher. Jerry, you and Linda made such a good couple. I remember how you use to dance so well with each other when you were young. Hold on to the good memories. I’m sure you have so much. Again, my condolences.
