Dan I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife and best friend. May God hold you and your family in His gentle and loving arms. May He carry you and give you strength.
Sincere condolences, Dan.
i was fortunate to know her from the week I moved to St Louis in fourth grade.
She was as warm and welcoming then as she was through all the years I knew her.
I’m so sorry to hear about Linda’s death. Linda and I traveled and did many audits together at RGA. She was always so kind and thoughtful. Treasure your memories of her. I will keep your family in my prayers.
My condolences to you and your family, Dan. Linda was a warm, caring lady it was truly a pleasure to meet in high school.
Dan so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. We were not aware she was I’ll. You and your family our in our hearts and prayers.

Dan & family. I’m so sorry for your loss of this beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt & cousin. I had the pleasure & honor of working with and enjoying Linda’s company at lunch for many years at RGA. I had the opportunity to give Linda one big last hug when she was packing up her things at RGA & I’m so glad I did. Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
You and Linda are in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh my, Dan, I had no idea that Linda was ill. If you are sharing, what happened? I am still in shock. Linda and I grew very close when we worked together at RGA. I so enjoyed her company at lunch and even during those times when we worked through many employee relations’ issues. Doug and I had the pleasure of having several dinners with both of you. She was dedicated, professional, smart, fun and very thorough. We were true friends. When you moved, we stayed FB friends, but, of course, it was not the same. Her friendship was very evident when she made the trip to Illinois when Doug passed five years ago. My heart is sad for your entire family and you. She loved you all so much.
Dear Dan and Family
I’m sending you my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Linda was so kind & caring in high school. Although we didn’t stay in touch throughout the years, FB brought us back together. She sent me the sweetest message back in October with a picture of you guys with one of your grandsons. So precious.
Again, my deepest condolences to you and your family.
Dan and family,
I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I have known Linda since elementary school. We went through brownies and Girl Scouts together and on through high school. Linda was a bright light, always kind and very gracious. She was a very special lady.
May Jesus wrap His arms around you and comfort you during these difficult days.

Dan and family,
My deepest condolences for the loss. I have known Linda since we began working together at RGA decades ago – we worked on some interesting initiatives together. She was a professional and an asset in every regard. It was honor to work with her.
Loving Father, bless this family with peace and comfort through this difficult time. Bless them not just with worldly favor in all they seek to accomplish but with hearts and minds filled with your lovingkindness. May you find peace in many wonderful memories of her and your good time together.

Sending thoughts and prayers to the family during this difficult time. I had the honor of working with Linda for 20+ years at RGA. I admired her for her work ethic and her ability to remain consistent and calm. It always seemed she had a serene way of handling things. Hoping for peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Lifting you and your family in prayers. In this difficult time may you find peace.
