    Jeff, you know my heart breaks for you. She is in no more pain. She was a very courageous lady over the past years of her illness and you helped keep her strong. Jeff, I was taught one day by someone very wise to never say goodbye. Always say See you later, or talk to you later. Well…see you later Miss Linda.
