Linda Kay SzalayNovember 22, 1942-October 21, 2008
It has been nearly a month now, since my aunt, Linda, passed away. While the world is still turning, just as it was before, it has suffered a great loss. While many of you did not know Linda, those who did, know just how special she was. She was no doubt, one of the least selfish people that you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Knowing that, it's no surprise that she was such a wonderful and caring nurse. She spent her entire life taking care of others. Whether it was healing premature babies or rubbing the shoulders of family members and friends, Linda never stopped doing everything in her power to make those around her feel better. She offered solutions to all that ailed us in person or over the phone, whether we knew that we were feeling bad or not. She would say try this or try that, maybe you should buy this book, this medication, ask the doctor this or that, have you tried this? She never stopped taking care of us. Right up to the end, she was still giving me shoulder rubs and telling me that she hopes that they can figure out what's wrong with me soon. In her last days, that's what she cared about. Us. I can find no better example of selflessness.
Linda, we love you and miss you terribly. Thank you for the never ending care that you gave to us all. You touched countless lives and inspired us all to be better people. My life is certainly better because you were in it. Your kindness and support through the hard times will never be forgotten.

You have her strength, Amanda. Hang onto it & think of her during tough times. She will help you make it through.
Once, when Linda was a nursing student, a patient awakened from anesthesia looking up at her & said, "Now I know I died & went to heaven 'cause I've got myself an angel." Well, now we all have that same angel, truly a guardian angel now, taking care of us. So keep your faith & allow her to keep doing what she has always done so well. Love, Mom
