If you did not love Linda; you did not know her! An open letter to my friend in heaven: We did not talk everyday or email. We didn't see each other as often, but with almost 44 years of friendship, we stood the test of time. We could pick up so easily where we left off. We have such good memories of Downey. It was an honor to work with you and for you. From our dinner parties, SC games, running aground on the duffy to you hosting a baby shower for me some 28 years ago; I will treasure these times always. You did everything with class and style. You had joie de vivre! When you told a mischievous story, you would giggle and roll your eyes at the same time! You leave a heartwarming legacy. You will forever be etched in my heart, my fellow Libran; my lovely, lovely, dear, sweet friend. Christie Hoffpauer
