Linda was one of the sweetest people and I still think of her often. She brightened a room when she walked into it.
She is still missed and I think of Pete and Sam and Alexander often.

Linda was a good friend and one of the sweetest people I've known. She was always ready with a smile and a story (often about the Boston Red Sox!) She is still missed and I think about her, Pete and the boys often.

Steve, Mike, Brian and your Familys,
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

Bless you Peter, Samuel & Alexander in your time of need.

Am so sorry about hearing of Linda's passing. Having attended RCC for several years the memories of seeing her each Sunday at service & how she so often provided her delicious recipes to the congregation for social hour showed how caring a person she truely was.
May her soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life and her memory be a source of blessing.
In Peace,

Peter, Sam & Alex and the Crockett Family,

My heart breaks for you and I am truly sorry for your loss. Linda and I grew up together in Belmont and my memories are very fond. She took me under her wing during softball and volleyball seasons, and she was a lot of fun to be around. Always thinking of others first, never herself. She was a true example of a shining star in so many ways - through athletics, her studies and her friendships. May you find some peace in knowing that she shares in many hearts, a very special place.

Dear Peter, Alex & Sam,
I've known and admired Linda since she began working at the UVM College of Medicine back in the mid 80's. No matter the situation, she was always calm and able to find humor in most anything. Seeing her in the hall was like like seeing the sun come out after a rain fall. Linda leaves a cadre of friends at UVM who will remember her fondly and miss her dearly. Wishing you all peace, Jan & Jerry Schwarz

Peter and family,
We are so sorry to hear of this awful news. She is apart of our fond memories of baseball days at the park. God be with you all as you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Earl and Faye Sweeney

January 14, 2012

What sad news and how terrible to be taken from us so young. Linda's father was Earl's best friend and his inspiration to enter law enforcement. Her mother was one of the sweetest persons on earth. Both were also taken from us much too early in their lives.

Earl can remember holding Linda and rocking her to sleep while visiting at Rod and Pat's home as a young man yet to have any children of his own. We later saw her grow to be a lovely and well behaved teenager and when she moved to Vermont lost touch with her except to see her visiting her Mom from time to time.

She will live on in the memories of many friends in the Belmont, NH area just as she will live on in the memories of her family and friends in NH and Vermont, and fond memories they all will be. Rest in peace, Linda, in the hope and promise that we will all be reunited one day. Soldier on, little family, and continue to make her as proud of you as we know she always was.

Peter, Sam and Alex,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember Linda taking the time to hang out with me as a kid at Aunt Pat's house. She was a teenager and I was probably 6 years old so it was really "cool" that she let me in her room. She had a pet white rat that she even convinced me to hold. Anyone that knew her will always remember her smile.

With Sympathy,

Words can not express how saddened I was to learn of the passing of Linda. I grew up with Linda in Belmont, NH and spent lots of time on and off the athletic fields and courts with her. Linda was a shining example of hard work and determination. A former coach of ours always preached, "poise, pride and confidence" - Linda had them all! A young life taken far too soon - I am still in shock. My condolences to her husband Peter and her sons Samuel and Alexander and the entire Crockett family. Rest in peace my friend - Love, Mary (Fogg) Berry Belmont, NH
