Richard, Brenna & Danny, I am so sad to hear of your Linda’s passing. She was a wonderful person and we shared so many good times at the races and our dinners afterward. It seems like only yesterday that we met at Foxboro Raceway when Brenna was about 5 years old. I enjoy great memories of you all, along with your Mom, Jeannie and Cliff, especially when we were headed to the winner’s circle! Linda is now with her Mom and Dad and will be missed by all of us left behind. Rest in peace, Linda.
