This invitation was but one of the hundreds she received, ranging from the most prestigious scholarly locales and entities to more popular audiences and even local elementary schools. Linda is survived by her husband David, her brother Tom Richmond, and the family of devoted students to whom she gave so generously during her career as a teacher. She fought a valiant battle with cancer, and, telling her students that their work was what was keeping her going, she managed to teach two seminars the very week in which she died. That triumph was a reflection of the strength of this remarkable woman, who taught all those around her crucial lessons about living and about dying. She was an inspiration to all those who knew her, and we, her colleagues, are particularly grateful to have been a part of her world.
