Condolences for the family of “Linda Joy Kelley”
Linda had the quickest wit of any friend I’ve ever known. She was always ahead of me with her clever retorts. I appreciated her help with my students’ research projects. She was always willing to help with anything others asked. I used to stand a little in awe of her because her fountain of knowledge was so great. Condolences to her many loved ones and friends. Erin, may the memory of your mom’s character and strength sustain you.
