Dear John

Our friendship dates back to over 30 years. What started as a work relationship turned into a lifelong relationship between two guys that just enjoyed every minute we were together. Even in tough times. 

To make things even better we linked our families into the mix and off we went as family friends. Eileen so loved Linda as did I. She was always so much fun and made us feel so welcome. My two girls still remember fondly a simple Saturday at the Carr’s. You cooked off and on all day. We went swimming and just enjoyed ourselves and the kids. 

I’ll never forget my surprise party after graduating from business school. I walked into a packed house and there were you and Linda with huge smiles and hugs. So incredibly genuine. I felt that. And remember vividly to this day. 

I always knew in my heart how much you loved Linda. A special love. She was always the one from the day you two met. I admired that. Still do. 

You have a beautiful family.  I know you miss Matt in ways none of us can imagine. But now he and Linda are reunited with Lord Jesus in Heaven, watching over you, Jennifer and Julie until it’s time for you all to join them. 

Eileen, myself, Hayley, and Katie send our deepest heartfelt love and condolences. 

You will always be my brother in Christ and a dear friend. I love you and am here for anything you need.

Our hearts are with the Carr family as you celebrate the life of your beloved mother, wife and sister. 

Linda's smile and energy were infectious. She did not fit the mold and was true lover of a good laugh. It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. One such memory I will always remember is the backyard bridal shower Sumo Wrestling party and Mrs. Carr rolling around the ring with an inflatable sumo suit on and the laughter of that night.  She loved her family and her friends dearly, and we are thinking about you all and sending love. xxoo, John and Jessi Connolly

The passing of a good friend, even from an earlier time in our families lives, brings back a rush of wonderful experiences and travels we have shared. Linda was always thinking and helping plan adventures that we could experience together. She was truly a kid at heart with a wonderful sense of humor. Her generosity was only exceeded by her concern for others. We are grateful that she was a part of our lives and will miss her dearly.

A beautiful lady both inside and out. Linda was a dedicated teacher, a mentor, and a great friend.
She kept all of us in stitches as well.  I will always remember her for her generosity, her love of family, and her caring nature. My memories will last forever. 

There were so many wonderful memories of all out years growing up.  I will miss you very much .  You always kept us all laughing.  

Best Friends forever 
You will always be in our hearts 

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Linda will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was the life of the party who truly cherished every moment with her husband, children, and grandchildren. We not only had a wonderful working relationship, but a true friendship. I will miss the laughs and the time spent with her sharing our families’ stories. No further words are needed to express my feelings of loss. Linda will be greatly missed.      💔                    
                                                           

I will always remember Linda for her warm, kind heart, and the way she wrapped her arms around the friends of her children. I was blessed to be one of those kids! Her daughter, Jenn and I were really close growing up, and I spent lots of time at the house. Linda always offered a listening ear, and amazing snacks after school. She was one of a kind! She has always been a blessing to so many, and I feel peace knowing she is with the Lord and not in pain. I also pray that she is hugging Matt really tight again. Sending love to the entire family, and sharing my  condolences.  Will always love Linda, and will miss her.

Although I retired from teaching in 2013, I remember all the good times I had teaching fifth grade with Linda. She was a wonderful teacher and a loving mom and grandma.  Her  compassion shined through in all she did from her family, her colleagues and student. I have many fond memories of her. I will truly miss Linda. I know there is a special place for you in heaven my friend. Rest easy. Frank Isola

I loved working with Linda at Highland School  and often had lunch together.  She could really make us laugh! Prayers of comfort and strength for your family.🙏🏻

I me Linda and John carr on a trip with a supply house. We hit it off and were great friends. She always had a smile and her great laugh would literally up the room. Unfortunately as time went by we went our separate ways but I always will remember her and John. My deepest condolences 

I have so many wonderful memories of Linda far too many to mention but my favorite was of my 60th surprise party. She came to the party after I finally stopped crying fromm the shocked of it she came and gave me the biggest hug and said "I'm so happy for you and you really deserve this happinest" I felt like she really meant it. 

Another time I had to work at my evening job when I discovered the weather was going to be bad when I got out of work.  She mentioned to me at lunch that she hated to see me drive home in the nasty weather and opened up her home for me that night.

So many memories such fun times she would make me laugh so much my face would hurt.

Rest easy my friend
