Great photos!
Still so sad I can't make it this weekend. I know it's going to be a great and memorable celebration!
My love to you both, still. Hope you're doing okay, Dave.
I sure miss that lady.
Janine
Love the photos! :) Made me smile thinking of her. I still wish we could make it there for the celebration, but we'll be thinking of all of you that day.
Love to you, Dave, and the family.

Those pictures just made me smile too. I will always think of both of you as my extended family...guiding me in the right direction. I have always admired the courage Linda was able to muster, even if she didn't feel that well. I will miss her dearly.
Remember, God doesn't give us what we can handle, he helps us handle what we are given.
All my love & hugs, Anaya
Great pictures Dave! I wish we could be there for the celebration. We will be thinking of you. If there are any programs left I would love to see one.
Best to you and your family,

Oh Dave, I saw the obituary today in The Bulletin - I am so sorry. Have thought about you and Linda a zillion times since leaving the Cancer Treatment Center over a year ago. Never occurred to me to try to find her blog and connect that way. I just read your posts and was grateful for the info today. Thinking of you and sending love to you and wind for the Angel's wings.
Hi Dave, I saw Linda's beautiful obituary in the Bend Bulletin today and wanted to extend condolences from the St. Charles Cancer Center team. We were all so appreciative of your strength, fun and humor in the face of challenges. Your love and appreciation for each other was so evident. May your memories give you strength and healing, Lizzi, Marlys and the DEFEATcancer team
The many faces of the amazing woman called Linda! Even when she is trying hard to look scary, she can't pull it off ... her underlying abundance of love, humor and zest for living life in the moment radiate right through any scary facial expressions, no matter how great the acting skills!
We'll miss that radiant smile not greeting us in the future, yet it will stay with us vividly ingrained in our memories and hearts! Thank you for sharing these moments!
Love to you and your family,
Sibyll & Glen
