Hey Ms. Joyce, its me Joyce from MCU, I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for your loss. May it be a comfort in knowing that your loved one is in the arms of the Lord who created her and loves her…she has not been planted in a garden that will bloom eternally.

To all Lindas family,I am sorry for your loss I only met Linda about 4 years ago and she was a sweet,strong and humorous lady and I know she loved her family very much.My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
Steve & Jill:
My heart goes out to both of you. Eventhough I never meet either of you Linda spoke very highly of both of you- I could tell she loved you both very much and you two were her rocks. And those grandchild she adored, she always had a funny story about little Ms. Shay. I worked very closely with Linda at Behavioral Health and we would meet for lunch a few tiems after she left. She will be sincerely missed by myself and others for we were her extended family at Behavorial Health. You all are in my prayers.
Steve and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, just as they have been with Linda over the last couple of years. Linda and I met when she became the Executive Secretary at Behavioral Health. We used to have lunch and became great friends. Linda was a wonderful person and a delight to all who encountered her. She will be missed by all of us, but none more than you her family.
Family of Linda Goroff,
Sending my deepest sympathy for your loss of a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend.
I never had an opportunity to meet Linda in person being that we worked on different campuses but she was a delight to work with and talk to when we had business to conduct over the phone/via e-mail.
She will be greatly missed by her Cone Health peers.
