Hello list, With a heavy heart, I am writing this message to all of you on the list, who knew Linda Smith. I had written the list a week or so ago asking about Linda and if anyone had heard from her. Jeanne Suggs Gildea wrote to tell me that Linda passed away on Oct. 27, of this year. I miss my friend and my cousin very much as I know that all of you who knew her will also. She was such a wonderful lady who went way out of her way to help others with their research. All anyone ever had to do was ask and they received from Linda. Both love as well as kindness. We will miss you Linda, more then words can express.

dear cathy, thank you for letting us know.... i, for one, will miss linda very much. i didn't know her as well as many of you, but she always treated me like a friend. linda always went out of her way to help me more than i could have asked for. i have a great sadness in my heart, not just for myself, but for all of us.... she was truly a "gene-angel". my sincere sympathy goes out to all of her friends and family. paula harris charles "if you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whisper your wish to it. since butterflies cannot speak, your secret is ever safe in their keeping. release the butterfly, and it will carry your wish to the Great Spirit, who alone knows the thoughts of butterflies. by setting the butterfly free, you are helping to restore the balance of nature, and your wish will surely be granted." ~~~~~~~ a native american legend ----- Original Message ----- From: Cathy Cranford To: NCMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 9:24 PM Subject: [NCMONT] We lost a list member Hello list, With a heavy heart, I am writing this message to all of you on the list, who knew Linda Smith.
