My friend Linda

Linda was my closest friend.  We met in 2004 when she moved to Albuquerque.  She became my roommate for about 3 months, then moved back in a few months later for several more months before buying her home.  Both of us were new to the area and quickly discovered our love for hiking and nature.  Over the many years and many road trips together,  we became very good friends.  Over the many many hours of driving we had great conversations about everything.  She had a wonderful sense of humor.  I miss her laugh and her warm caring personality. 
Her first attempt in 2017 came to me as a shock.  I didn't know that part of her.  I had many conversations with her to understand her views and conclusions.  It was difficult at many times.  I feel I was very lucky to have her for the following year.  I miss her deeply.
