Dear Ramona and Linda's sisters, So very sad at learning of Linda's sudden passing.. I have some great memries dating way back to the sixties of Sam and his girls... You could always depend on them to liven things up.. Sam and Linda were a lot alike..Quiet yet always seeming to be thinking of "what next"...I remember the Baird family as I grew up here in Lancaster...Always together and always a family..This carried over to Linda's adulthood and being a Nana..She and Chris and Mckenna always seemed to be together and always were a family...You were a super Nana and a true friend...I will miss you next year at the shows,won't be the same without you and "Chippy'.....Glad we were friends ...Pen

Linda, as usual you do everything with a bang. well, this was one of those. no words can describe what Chris' life will be without you as you did so much. We all will miss you so much. No secret we had a rocky road at first, but once we determined we are so much alike, a solid kinship was born. May you find Ray and Dave's spirit there and keep them in line. Ray so loved teasing you. All of us will be there for Chris and help as much as he will allow us to. We truly miss you. Thanks for the hugs and the special things you did for me on those "difficult" days. We do love you and thank you for the time we had you in our family.

Dear Ramona & family - I was so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with someone else from the Lancaster area whenever we would meet. She was always a great person and was very friendly no matter when you met her. She will be missed by all those who knew her. I will miss seeing her at the Fair with Chippy in the stroller. We always laughed together about that. Take care a always know that she is watching over all those dear to her heart! Donna

Linda and I were classmates and though we lost touch in later years I will always remember the play we were in together in Elementary School. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:" Linda was Snow White (I kid you not!) and I was the Wicked Queen. What a ball we had with that! I remember her as a tough girl with a big heart. My husband Dennis and I send condolences and prayers to the family and her many friends.
