On behalf of the Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Directors and Staff, I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Chisman Family, upon Linnie's passing.

Linnie was a good friend of my Aunt and Grandmother, loved having lunch with them at Furr's and listening to the srories of the times in Hanover.

Linnie was a very special friend to me. We had weekly visits for years. We went to appointments together, had birthday dinners, she went with us to Templed Hills to pick up our son from camp, and even a trip to the DMV to renew her driver's license. Saying goodby to her when we moved to Maryland three years ago, was nearly as hard as saying goodbye to our son. The last thing put on the moving truck was her piano, which she wanted me to have. I think of her every time I sit down to play, and her picture is on top along with the other family pictures. I love you, Linnie and will miss you, but I know I'll be seeing you again.

She was an amazing woman. I grew up with her playing the piano at the church the entire time during Sunday school times. I will miss her greatly but she lived a good life.
