Linda's passing has left a void in many hearts. All who knew her were inspired by her on multiple levels. She's been an outstanding model to so many. Sending LOVE to all the Stapletons. Missy

Words can not express what Linda has meant to me. Her passing leaves a void that will never be filled. May her family always know how much she has been loved and appreciated by others. She and I have been friends since elementary school making me rich with fond memories because of Linda. A unique soul whom God reclaimed before we were ready to say so long for awhile. Rest now, my dear friend.

Linda showed us how to embrace life with courage and passion powerful love against insurmountable odds. That legacy is an incalculable gift. I am grateful for every day I spent in her presence and for the light of her spirit that never left her eyes.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful mom with all of us who knew her. She will always be a strong, smart and radiant role model for me. I will never forget her smile, her kindness and calming presence. Aunt Linda and Uncle Sid also represented an amazing and loving bond between two people that I have held in my heart as a model of partnership and commitment that I have always wanted to achieve in my own marriage and relationships. Thank you so much for these gifts, Aunt Linda. Wishing you all the time and space you need to process her loss. Sending our love from Boston. Love, Holly
