I am so saddened to hear of Linda's sudden death.  She was always so ready to help and advise in any situation.  She will be greatly missed at Emory as well as by her many friends and family.  My prayers go out to you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jay, Jessica, Stacey and their families. Linda loved you beyond measure. She was a true friend and a light upon the earth.

Linda was one AWESOME woman. I first met her in 1979 at Emory. I learned alot from her about the kind of person I wanted to be. She will be greatly missed by her friends at Emory. My sympathy to Jay and her family. I will never forget her.

I am sadden by the news of Linda's death. She was such a wonderful, loving and positive person. She "took me in" as though I was one of her children when I first started working at Emory. I will truly miss her. My love and prayers go out to Jay, Jessica and Stacey and their families.

I'm still in shock, Linda was a sweet, kind person, She is/will be truly missed within the Emory family. I would always see her in the morning getting off the elevator-she would be coming to work & I would be going home.  I will miss seeing her in the mornings.  RIP Linda, Gone but never forgotton

Linda was one of the kindest persons I've ever met at Emory. I was deeply saddened to hear of your great loss. My prayers go out to your family at this sad time. May your hearts be comforted by many beautiful memories and the love she shared with you.

Our Prayers and sympathy to Jay and his family. Linda was an extraordinary person. Linda touched so many hearts and lives during her tenure at EMORY. She will be missed.

Linda was an inspiration for me, as she endured and conquered cancer shortly before my similar fate.  She was a deeply caring person.  I am saddened by her sudden death, but I am happy to have known her and to have shared a similar journey.  She will be missed.

I find it hard to believe this wonderful person who was a friend, neightbor and someone I worked with for several years at Emory is gone. She'll be truly missed by all that knew her. I'll miss you Linda.

Tim and I were sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. Our heart goes out to her family. Linda was a very kind hearted and thoughful person!... She will be missed!!!...

I got to know Linda through Jacques Dion and Lucie Thibault.  I will always remember her as the truly caring and vivacious person that she was.  I was very saddened to learn of her death.  My thoughts and prayers are with Jay and the family.

Jay, may God bless you and the rest of your family during your difficult time with this sudden loss. I cannot tell you how saddened I am at the loss of Linda, who for several years was my 'Mom' at work in the Interventional Neuro office.  I will always remember our 'coffee talk' and what a happy, giving and loving woman she was to everyone she met. Our prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time. Mrs. Linda was a loving person with a heart filled with kindness. We will miss her greatly.

Jay, You and your family are in our prayers. She was one of a kind we will always miss her . Joe and Pam Blalock

Linda had infused so much love and care into lives around her. As one of her many Emory Kids, I can not describe the profound loss we and the world experience. We miss you dearly, Linda!

My sympathies to the family at this shocking news.  Although I knew her only too briefly, her considerable warmth, and the devotion she exhibited for those she cared about was obvious and humbling.

I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing.  I worked with Linda at Emory for many years and know she will be sorely missed.  My deepest condolences to the family.  Ann Rouse (Newnan, GA)

I am so sorry for your great loss.  Linda was one of the best parts of my time at Emory.  I will cherish the memories forever.  Rest in peace.

Linda was an amazing person and a wonderful friend.  I have missed our daily conversations in the years since I have left Emory but I always knew she would be there if I needed a mothers advice. She will be truly missed. My deepest sympathy to her amazing husband and family in this difficult time.

I am so terribly saddened to hear of Linda's passing.  I have worked with Linda at Emory over the past 37 years.....truly our second home.  She delighted everyone she came in contact with.  Emory has lost an exceptional employee and I have lost a dear friend.  Your family has my sincerest sympathy. 

Pat Kimbell

Emory will not be the same without Linda.  Her ready smile and positive attitude was alwaays uplifting.  I first met her 23 years ago and considered her a true friend.  She will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
My sincere condolences to Jay and the family.

I am so saddened to hear of Linda's passing. I worked with Linda in the credentialing of Emory physicians at Children's.  I so enjoyed our conversations!  Linda...I will truly miss you!

My heart is so heavy when I think of life without my cherished pal, Linda...  Just cannot imagine...  She and her family have meant so much to me and mine for over 35 wonderful years... How I will miss her, as will so many...  Rest in peace, my dear Linda...

Linda was my "Jewish mother" at Emory, as she often reminded me.  She threatened to make a trip to Detroit sometime.  I told her to try.  We laughed until we cried and then we laughed some more.  She was the life of any party and could always put a positive spin on any situation.  I will miss her so much.

My heart aches for your loss. Your family holds a special place in my life now and forever.

I just wanted you to know how deeply saddened I was to hear of Linda’s passing.  We met at Emory 25 years ago and remained very close friends. I was proud to call her my friend and I will miss her very much. We have lost one of the kindest and loving friends I have ever had the privilege to know. I am feeling your pain and sorrow at this difficult time. You have my sincere sympathy.
A. Jill Leibman, M.D.
