I called on Linda as a sales for many years. She always treated me like family. Deepest sympathies to Miss Jo and the Dream Team. Gary Miller
I first met Linda 38 years ago when our family first needed glasses. Over the years she became a friend who could be trusted to do the best in seeing that my visual needs were met to perfection. I will miss her. Praying for her mother and her Dream Team.

I am sorry for the family's loss. I will miss her at Cooper Optical. She was so very knowledgeable and kind! Joan Rieger
I will miss visiting with Linda. I could talk to her forever. She was for real -- and no one was above her, nor was anyone beneath her. She was taken too soon, because she had so much more to give.
Big heart and even bigger smile! Thank you Linda for some fun times at your weekend retreat!! Never got better optical care. Here's an optical teaser just for you!
Deepest condolences to Jo and Linda's family and friends. I haven't seen her in many years, but I will also be glad that I knew her. She was kind and witty, and one of the funniest people I've ever known. The world has dimmed with her passing. RIP Coop.

I had the privilege of growing up across the street from Ms. Linda. I have heard her yell "Hey Shea!" every single time I have seen her for 33 years. I will always cherish my memories of her and I know everyone who has ever met her will cherish the memories as well.
