I have known and worked with Linda for 32 years. Linda has always been an amazing co-worker and team player. Linda is extremely reliable and helpful. Linda's communication skills and thoughtfulness are always present. As a friend of Linda's, I have always enjoyed her company and her knowledge. I know she will succeed at whatever she does, and I will miss her incredibly. Every time I work and see that Linda is on, I know that we will have a great day!

I met Linda 18 years ago when I started at WSMC. Over the years, we have become not just co-workers but, very good friends. We have laughed and cried, argued, and most importantly supported each other. Labor and Delivery has a way of making your co-workers into family, in which, Linda has become a sister. You could always count on Linda to meet the challenges that we face daily with grace and gritted teeth on occasion (LOL). Linda is a compassionate nurse and teacher. She has been a mentor to all of us at one time or another, sharing her knowledge and skills. The thing I'm going to miss the most is our "Pajama Parties" when we would stay overnight because of the winter storms and then have breakfast the next morning to recharge for another day. I cannot say I'm not going to miss her, but I'm overjoyed that she has this opportunity to move on at this time.
