No matter how sick she felt or tired she was she always had a positive attitude, never lost her sense of humor and fought through it all like a warrior. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and attended every soccer game, school plays, recitals and dance competitions. During her own chemo treatments Linda could see a patient that was scared and upset, who was newly diagnosed with Cancer and was having their first chemo treatment. Linda had a way of making them feel better by sharing her story of her long battling with this disease.
