I was deeply saddened to see the news of Linda’s passing in the chronicle this morning. I am one of the many staff at Glens falls Hospital that got to meet Linda and enjoy her bubbly charismatic personality. I enjoyed hearing her stories about her career and her times in New York City. She was such a pleasant woman to interact with and her laugh was infectious!!
