A tribute to Linda Monson

I lost a very good friend on April 2, 2011. She was 49 years old and mother to three kids. She lived with cancer for some 8 years. During that time her mother and sister were diagnosed with cancer.

Laura and I met Linda in 1987 at Christ Episcopal Church in Denver, Colorado. Phylis Longfellow, a parishioner and mother to many youth at CC, said to Laura and I, "I have a couple you just have to meet." We had just moved from Massachusetts and knew no one. That day we met Paul and Linda and their friends, Bill and Laura, and we became inseparable friends.

A television tribute to Linda can be seen here http://www.9news.com/dontmiss/192397/630/Linda-Monson-never-asked-Why-me

Laura and I couldn't attend the funeral. This is my small way of saying, "Linda, we will miss you."

Shalom, Gregory
