I was a friend of Linda's through my ex-husband, Kevin Sieg. I also was friends with her through my sister, Jenny Zimmer (Bellware). Tony Szabo and my son, Kurt Sieg were friends when they were kids, and even shared a playpen (old school term) around 1982. I may have encouraged Linda to become a nurse, something I now regret. I didn't go to Linda's funeral, something I also regret. I was VERY angry at her. She had a daughter and son to raise. Her daughter was very young, and Tony needed her alot. However, I am now 51 yrs. old and on some days, understand how she may have felt. Getting older for a beautiful woman is not easy, but there's much to be said for passing the torch to our peers and family. They have much to learn from us.
