Kind thoughts are with the Family at this very difficult time. May your precious memories bring you comfort, and God’s promise at Jeremiah 29:11,12 will give you strength to endure.
Lin was six years older and part of the Connecticut clan of cousins I grew up and with whom I shared my happiest childhood memories. I am so grateful for Lin, my dear cousin and my friend. I thank her for all the times she would play with me while the other older cousins said I was too little. She taught me how to row a boat and how to catch sunfish in a net. She swam with me in the lake at her parents’ home and taught me how to use an ironing board to iron Uncle Charlie’s handkerchiefs. She shared her toys and puzzles and games, and when we were older, she would drive me all around the town. I was blessed to have had such a special person in my life. Grateful for her patience, her devotion, her kindness, and her generosity, and for the cherished memories.
Hello, this is Tiffany Petrosino, the president of the Hale Foundation at Yale University. Writing to express our condolences. Lin helped us maintain alumni records for many years and has always been a pleasure to work with. She was an absolute treasure and will be missed.
