In our thoughts and prayer. : 7/4/2009
Linda is a respected journalist and a wonderful person. To her parents we say Rest in Peace.
God Bless You : 7/9/2009
To Journalist Linda Metz & Family: I was born & raised in Washington, PA & follow the O-R on line. While I do not know you personally, I was saddened to read of the accident that claimed the lives of your loved ones. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand through your current & sudden loss & period of grieving. I am no stranger to loss & grieving, having lost my fiance, Mom & Dad all within eight months. It is very difficult to resist placing question marks where God has clearly placed periods. When we have great loved ones we are never ready to let them go. They are just a breath away & no further than a loving memory. Lean on each other & your faith to sustain you. I will be praying for you. Karen R.
