Condolences
Our thoughts and memories of Linda are vivid at this one year mark...they will always be!
I consider myself blessed to have known Linda and had someone as special as her in my life. She was truly one of the best, nicest people I have ever met. Linda's kind heart and caring spirit were always evident. She celebrated your joys and helped you through your sorrows, laughed with you, cried with you, and always found a way to make you feel special. I feel both honored and privileged to call her my friend, and I will think of her and miss her always. I know in my heart she is up in heaven, watching over us all, and sending her love from the clouds. So until I see you again Linda, I love you, and will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life.
I never met Linda, but you can tell a lot about a person by how much love people have for them. Hearing about Linda from Carol for the past few years and looking at the pictures you posted, I can see how much she was loved. The condolences from others show a bright, loving, caring person with a big heart who touched many lives. She sounds like she had a good life, will be missed, left her mark on the world and is at peace. What more could one ask for? I am so sorry for your loss - but may you smile at every memory forever.
I had the privilege of sharing some wonderful talks with Linda when adopting our son Connor. She made me laugh, made me cry, put my fears to rest, and was a source of comfort, reassurance and motherly love in a very special time in my life. But this was Linda, she was like this to everyone she came in contact with. The devotion Linda had for her family was to be admired, and example to all of us. God and the Angels are so fortunate to have such a loving, selfless soul among them. You will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. I love you Linda...
I was lucky enough to have worked for Linda at Horizon. Linda was such an amazing person and I am so grateful that she was in my life. It broke my heart to see the terrible struggles she had to go through, but of course Linda was still smiling & fighting through it all. Linda had the biggest heart and she was there for you no matter what you were going through. I will never forget her kindess & support when I was going through difficult times. I will always be grateful for the time I had with Linda, she will be missed by so many people. Love & miss you Linda always. "God saw you getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you, And whispered “Come with Me…” With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. Many times we thought of you, Many times we’ve cried. If love alone could save you, You never would have died. A golden heart stopped beating, Your tender hands at rest, God took you home to prove to us, He only takes the best."
I had the opportunity to work with Linda at Horizon BCBSNJ. She was such a kind, compassionate and caring person. May the beautiful memories that your family shared be a source of comfort during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
There are so few people that come through our lives that we can say change us forever, make us better people, leave us with more faith. Linda leaves an indelible mark of that magnitude on this world and the people that were lucky enough to have her love. The years that I was blessed to know Linda hold a special place in my heart. During some of my most challenging times, she was the one person that offered love without judgment and unwavering support. I pray and hope that I told her frequently enough of the impact she had on me. Linda, you were an angel right here on earth and now will be one in heaven. Jon and I will love you and miss you forever.
It was with great sadness and loss that I heard Of Linda's passing. My sincere condolences to her husband, children and family. Every once in while someone leaves a mark in our heart, her courage to stand up and fight her illness was Linda. She never let anything stand in her way. Now she has gone to her rest but leaves us all sad and feeling a a painful loss that will take a long time to heal. But if I know Linda she is up there developing a "care plan" for all of us who mourn her loss. We will all be with you again one day Linda but meanwhile we will miss you. To Dennis and family you will remain in my prayers and hopefully yoiu will celebrate Linda's life and take solace in knowing how much you loved and cared for her during her illness. I am sorry for your loss. God Bless
Words cannot describe the untimely loss of Linda Halleran. She will be missed by so many friends and family members. She was a rolemodel for every Mother and Wife. I am so blessed to have known her as a friend and as a colleague. I will think of her always. Deborah Gingher
A butterfly lands near us, and for a brief moment, its beauty belongs to our world...but then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we fell so lucky to have seen it. Within your heart and memory, Linda will always be close by. A butterfly landed so gently on my shoulder yesturday, and all I could think of was Linda and that she is at Peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We Love you, God Bless You, Annie and Jim
