My sincerest condolences to your family. I was one of Linda’s customer’s at Bon Ton. She was always so warm and cheerful. We enjoyed many conversations over the years and she always showed a sincere interest in me and my family. She appreciated the loyalty from her customers and treated us very well. We ran into each other not long ago at BJs and enjoyed catching up. She was such a lovely woman (and with such beautiful skin!). I’m so sorry for this unexpected loss. May her memory be a blessing to you.
We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Linda. She was a beautiful person and always had a big smile whenever we ran into each other. She will be missed. Our condolences to her entire family.
Will miss you Linda, my prayers go out to the family. She was a great person inside and out.
My prayers are with the Montano family. Working with Linda for 10 years at Bon Ton we would share stories about our families. I would become so happy when I would realize Linda was working, because she was always a ball of fun. Heaven has truly gain an Angel.
