Don, I think of Linda daily and miss our friendship. It was so nice to be able to spend time with both of you in November, enjoying the good meals Linda made, having chocolate brownie cake each time we watched a movie(!), always comedies, and reviewing the many years of friendship we had. I feel that she is still a part of my life. Bev Morton
