Susan Attermeier sent me an email tonight. Susan is the mother of Julia, who went to school with Sarah:

Jake-

I just found out last night that Linda had passed away. I was shocked and saddened. Linda was a friend form the first time we saw each other at a PTA spagetti dinner at Grady Brown Elementary. My daughter Julia and Sara were already friends. But when I saw Linda with her wild hair and scarf I went over and said hi. Just couldn't relate to all those perky young moms!! The chemistry was immediate. I spent many happy hours in her company. She was always full of unexpected conversation, always cooking up a storm. The recipe she gave me for Bolognese sauce is now legendary among my friends. Imagine three grown men lying on the floor with smiles on their faces after eating too much of it. The women of course were politely seated on the couch but bent over and clutching their stomachs.

In recent years I didn't see her much - Called several times but she didn't respond. I have your blog and will explore it but I wnated to send you a personal message.

Sara emailed Julia about her mom - that's how I knew. If I can figure out how to leave messages on the blog I will do that.

I will always remember Linda's laugh and twinkly eyes.

Susan, this is a wonderful email. Thank you. The sad part is that this confirms that there are others out there who ought to be told who have not yet been informed that mom died. I wish this was all behind us all.
