Fred, the obituary was excellent and reminded me with a smile when you wrote Linda was confident and strong in her beliefs. She certainly did and beliefs we should all strive for. She was always willing to help, an excellent teacher who put her friends, colleagues and customers first. It was also interesting you mention her baking skills, I am pretty sure I have eaten so many of her desserts that I still carry some of that around with me. It is with sorrow I am not able to attend her service in person today as we are celebrating Nicks graduation in Kalamazoo today. Please know my prayers are with Linda and her family.

I first met Linda Higbee when she came to work at Whirlpool, and it took almost no time at all for us to become partners-in-crime. On the job she was a focused, experienced, critical thinker, but the "work" Linda was just the tip of the iceberg. Outside of work she lived a vibrant existence of family, food, fun, and a deep love of Michigan and the lake. I have many great memories of "Port Paradise" (the little house next to the North Pier), and of her hospitality and friendship. I am deeply enriched by those memories and experiences. And I was always moved the most by her fierce love for her boys. Knowing that she is reunited with Kalvin is the only thing helping me cope at this time. Rest well, my friend. I look forward to meeting again.
