Linda

Though I have been away from you guys lately, you are special to me and tonight I have some sad news I need to share. Forgive me, but I have to 'express' right now. A close friend, who I dated for nearly ten years, passed away this evening at 6:25. She fell off her roof on Monday, went into a coma on Wednesday and now she's gone. She was 59. I had hoped for some peace for her, in the years and decades ahead. She was a tortured soul. Radiantly beautiful on the inside. A Phoenix, constantly rising from ashes more beautiful than before. A triumph of Goodness and Light. This world was not meant for one as beautiful as she.

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the weight of that loss.

Prayers for her - and for those who loved her.

Sad news Supe, but consider yourself lucky to have known someone as beautiful as you have described.

Yes. I was lucky. She changed me, for the better. A beautiful soul.

You guys mean a lot to me, and I am grateful for your support at this time.

Beautiful tribute to Linda, Sup.

You have a wonderful heart, no doubt why she came down...she knew you would be there to find her.

Very sorry to hear this Jim. Wishing you all the best.

Was thinking of you the other day.....It's been years since I plucked the floor sheet metal from your crashed SC. I finally have the '69 stripped and it's all going to the painter next week....He's looked at your floors and will weld them in....

Best of luck sir....
