Dear Linda, my friend, big fella, my pal, Hoss. Gone too soon. You touched my life in so many ways. When Jean and I decided to get married, you were the person who we wanted to perform the wedding ceremony. Thanks for that. A person takes those vows seriously when Linda Erwood reads them.
I'll miss your voice. You had a melodious way of saying "Hello" when you answered the phone. You sang all those Elvis songs in my car and knew every word. On three occasions I was witness to you making a hole in one on three different golf courses.
I don't idolize many people. Linda, you were definitely one of them. We has some good times, I'll never forget any of it.
I'm paraphrasing Shakespeare here:
"When she shall die,
Take her and cut her out in little stars,
And she will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
Romeo and Juliet. ACT III Scene 2.
Love you, miss you,
Rocky Festa
