I spent much of my pre-teen and teenage years with Linda at the Kimmel home. Mom Kimmel reminded me to always bring my toothbrush since a visit usually ended with a sleepover. She and I spent many afternoons (she was a known late riser) in her kitchen discussing the topics of the day. We didn't share recipes, only thoughts, passions, and heartfelt feelings. She listened, guided, and yes, sometimes scolded, but only when deserved, and always so empathetically. I loved her laugh! We shared our appreciation of procrastination, something well written or someone well spoken, and a delicious meal shared with friends! She was truly one of the kindest, most interesting, and most fun-loving people that my husband and I have ever known. We will miss her.
