Linda's Celebration of Life

Linda's Celebration of Life was held on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Nine Muses in the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey.  It was wonderful to see over 300 friends, colleagues, and family members from all parts of Linda's life in attendance.  Clearly, Linda touched many people during her lifetime and will be dearly missed.

For those who could not make it, or those who wish to remember a very special day, I've put a transcript of the ceremony and several pictures (thanks to nephew Josh) online: http://sites.google.com/site/lcvfund/col

A few special highlights from the day (makes you think that Linda was certainly there in spirit):

• An early threat of rain cleared in time for the ceremony, with gorgeous weather including sun and blue skies to complement the outdoor setting.
• The ceremony site was overflowing with dragonflies. One landed on Linda's father's leg and sat there for a minute after he sat down from giving his eulogy.  Many smiles and tears followed.  A few other special dragonfly stories were shared (the dragonfly picture with the transcript was actually taken at the ceremony site, the Nine Muses sculpture).
• An incredibly large and bright rainbow made an appearance as the reception was winding down.

Thanks to everyone for making the day so memorable.
