My dear sister Linda was hit by a truck while crossing a street in Hillsboro Oregon on Monday, Aug 1. She was taken for treatment but despite this, passed away later that same night. Linda had commented on most of my blogs under the name Katara. You may remember from an earlier blog that Linda had just completed making a scrapbook of my life as a retirement present. That book and my memories of growing up with my big sister are more precious than gold to me.
My sisters Judy and Linda were coming to FL this fall for a wedding and for my retirement party.
We were with family when we got the news and quickly made the decision to head back to FL to be with my mother as we dealt with the loss and grief.
Linda leaves behind two grown children and one grandson. My sister Judy has gone to Oregon to be with them and help with arrangements.
Here is one of the news articles about the tragic accident: http://www.oregonlive.com/hillsboro/index.ssf/2011/08/hillsboro_police_identify_woman_struck_and_killed_by_truck.html
We are comforted by the kind thoughts and prayers for the family.
Linda, I miss you.
