My thoughts and prayers are with you. Miss Linda was a sweetheart. She always made me laugh.

Thank you Linda for the many chats we had together, the times we played casino games, for attending my wedding, and for being my friend.

My parents were lucky enough to befriend Linda while at Monmouth Park handicapping horse races. Even after she moved to work at Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, they kept in touch.
As luck would have it, I began working at Taj Mahal in 2002, finding Linda shortly thereafter. I had the good fortune to catch her for breakfast from time to time and get filled-in on all of the latest.
I can’t imagine my experiences with Linda were anything unusual. Always friendly and outgoing, she was always hearing what others had to say. She was a role model in work, life and family.
I hope she’s been reunited with my mom and dad. Winning more with her gut than dad did with hours of calculations.
I’ll join the chorus of many and say that Linda is a wonderful soul who’s presence will be sorely missed.
