Jon, Jonny, Tracy & Family;
We're so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and if you need anything please please please do NOT hesitate to call on us!!!
Linda bascially watched me and my sister and then our children grow up and I will aways have fond memorys of her. Her love of trains, Her smile, Her laughter, Her kind words and especially her love and caring for everyone around her that made her the special lady she always was and always will be!!
In August my Dad turned 70, Linda planned a lunch for Dad at the shop and invited us to join, I am so thankful she invited us and we got to see her, before she got sick, because it is that smiling face that I saw on that day that will forever be etched in my memory! ♥
Everytime I see a train, I will look to the Angels and think of you, Linda!!
♥ ♥ ♥ R.I.P Linda ♥ ♥ ♥

Jon and family, Tony and I are very sorry to hear of Linda's passing. Cindy has been keeping us informed through Tim and Beth. I know she fought a hard battle with AML. I am a nurse at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, and work directly with patients and their families for those diagnosed with leukemias that go through bone marrow transplant. It is a very difficult process which requires alot of decisions and transitions of pt. and family. I know this process is very painful physically and emotionally...Please know that even though we did not know Linda very well, our prayers are with her now... in a better place where she is cancer and pain free... and with the wonderful family she has left beyond.

To the Family of Linda Payne,
We are so saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. We have had the wonderful opportunity of spending time with Linda and her family at many “Dowd” family functions. Every time she walked into the gathering, we were greeted with the most beautiful smile. She always made us feel welcome and a part of the family. So many times at these functions, we found ourselves wanting to sit with her and her sister, Sharon, and just listen to all they had to say. You just wanted to be around Linda and her positive energy! We will miss seeing her very much.
Please accept our sincere condolences and our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Dear Jon & Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Linda. She was always so polite and fun loving. When I think of Linda, I think of you and her at the National Guard Convention in NY City. Sevral of us were on a street corner and they wanted me to pick out the "hookers", which I did. Then I told them, watch their moves, their approaches etc, which we did. Linda was amazed and just kept laughing so loud. I told her "come-on Linda, you are going to blow our cover." Linda said "OK Joe, I won't laugh loud." All the more she laughed. John, I am ill with the flu at the moment and won't be able to attend the services. I will say some prayers for all of you and may god be with each of you in this time of need. God Bless each of you,
Joe Spine
