We were so saddened to hear that our dear friend, Linn, has gone to heaven.  Our hearts are broken for Katie and the family.
We have known Linn for over 30 years and will always remember her smile and laughter and the camping trips we shared.
Kathy worked with Linn for years in photo finishing and that is how we all became friends.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this difficult time. 
Love, Kathy and Shirley

I just want to say, time passes so quickly, it was like yesterday that we all hung out at the Aurrecoechea house.  Linn had a beautiful loving smile. She was a kind heart. It runs in the family. Know that my prayers are with you all. I am always here for you. Bless you all

Katie and Family,
I met Linn when she was the manager of the Wolf Camera store in Cupertino.  Because of her warmth and personality we discovered we both had daughters who sang that were about the same age.  We got our daughters together and they ended up singing in a band together.  When Linn's mom passed away from breast cancer we found out her mom's oncologist was also mine as I was diagnosed in 2001 with stage 3 breast cancer.  When Linn was diagnosed with breast cancer I came over and her courage and strength were amazing!  It seemed as if she was trying to console others and didn't want people to worry about her. Linn was a wnderful human being who left this world way to soon.  My deepest sympathy goes out to your family.  All of us who knew Linn were very fortunate to have had her in our lives!

I'm so sorry for your loss and my love and condolences go out to you all.  I've known Linn for a long time, since Julie was in high school...sorry Jewls thats a long time.  I have so many memories of family get togethers. Lynn was such a nice, loving, caring lady. She had a great sense of humor, always joking and always had a smile on her face. This is really still so hard to believe. But Heaven just welcomed another angel..but she will always be with you in your hearts forever.  I am here if you need anything ALWAYS. I love you Jewls and Katie. xoxo

Dear Julie, Katie and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about my childhood friend going to heaven.  The memories that I have of Linn are wonderful, my family would go to your house on 4th of July and have the best fireworks on the block.  Both families would spend summer vacations at my Grandmother's house at Russian River, I have always remembered those fond memories.
I know Linn is a better place and God will be watching over her.

My prayers are with all of you.

Love,

Kathy Magee-Butler

A Wonderful Loving Sister "In-Law", who never treated me like an "In-Law". She always treated me like the real deal, Caring, Thoughtful, Loving, and poking fun every chance she could. I will always cherish and remember my times with you...My "Favorite" Sister.

I was able to reconnect with Linn at our last class reunion, and I am so grateful that she was back in my life.  I will miss her funny, and thoughtful emails and knowing she was there.  My condolences to Katie and the rest of her family.

Dear Julie and Family,
What a great loss to lose Linn so young. She was a wonderful person, so kind, so friendly and open. I remember going to your house as a young kid and having the best time with your family on 4th of July or when you all came up to my grandmother's house at the Russian River. Do you remember when we all went on a picnic to Goats Head Beach? My mom kept pictures of that day and it's a golden memory for me. God Bless your Mom, Auntie Janet and God Bless Linn. The world just got a little grayer with her gone, but Heaven surely got brighter and sunnier as they welcomed her home. God keep Linn forever and God watch over you all the days of your life.
All my love,
Mary Magee

A wonderful, loving sister.  I will miss you dearly.

To the Cole family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time of sorrow. May she R.I.P <3

My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy for your great loss. My daughter, Giovina and I met Linn and Katie the summer of 1995 when we came down from Toronto to see Annette and Lou.  Our prayers are with you.

I only just re-united with Linn a few months ago when I found out that I had breast cancer.  But what I remember about her when I first met her through her parents Lou & Annette was her wonderful laugh and big heart.  I did not spend as much time with her as I would have liked, living in Oregon now, but she will always be in my memories and my heart.  My thoughts and prayers are with her in heaven and with her family, as I know how much they will miss this special child of God.

Lover to you all,
Barb Thomas
