Obituary for Linda Huff Muessig

http://www.devlinfh.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=2592496&fh_id=11464

This obituary was just sent to me by Lydia Juras Boiles, formerly from West Portal  Apparently, Linda passed away July 4th.  I believe she was instrumental in setting up the Growing Up Bloomsbury site.  If not, at the very least she was a very active constributor.  I knew her as a child and remember her as a happy, friendly person that smiled and laughed a lot.  Her frequent contributions to the site made it apparent that she still cared for and enjoyed people -- both admirable traits.  We will miss her.....

Once again this same nonsense, more money and studies.

Money again to be spent on studies and not one dime to the kids education!
