HI EVERYONE!
LINDA AND I ARE JUST 19 MONTHS APART.  WE SPENT ALL OF OUR EARLY YEARS TOGETHER.  MOM TREATED US LIKE TWINS.  SHE ALWAYS PUT US IN MATCHING OUTFITS.  
WHEN LINDA GOT TO THE 9TH GRADE SHE WENT OFF TO PRIVATE SCHOOL, WINDSOR MOUNTAIN ACADEMY.  SHE REALLY LIKED IT AND DID VERY WELL.  WHEN SHE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, SHE WENT TO CINNCINATI COLLEGE.  AFTER COLLEGE SHE WORKED IN LOS ANGELES FOR A WHILE, AND THEN SHE MOVED TO CHICAGO.  SHE MARRIED DAVID GORDON AND HAD HER FIRST-BORN ADAM.  WITHIN TWO YEARS HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER ERIN WAS BORN.  WHEN THE MARRIAGE ENDED LINDA AND THE KIDS MOVED BACK TO CLEVELAND.  BY THAT TIME MY CHILDREN AND I HAD MOVED TO LOS ANGELES.  MAMA ARLINE MADE SURE THEY GOT A GREAT HOUSE OF THEIR OWN IN A REALLY GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD AND WENT TO THE BEST SCHOOLS.  LINDA WENT TO WORK AS A DOCTOR’S ASSISTANT AND SEEMED TO ENJOY IT AND DID VERY WELL.  THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH MAMA ARLINE AND AUNT FAYE.  LINDA ALWAYS MADE SURE THEY HAD LOTS OF LOVE.  MY CHILDREN AND I SAW THEM WHENEVER WE CAME TO CLEVELAND.  WHEN ARLINE MET DAN SHE KNEW HE WAS THE ONE FOR ERIN.  SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME HOW KIND HE WAS TO HER. EVERYTIME I TALKED TO LINDA IN THE PAST 16 YEARS IT WAS ABOUT DAN AND WHAT HE DID FOR HER. TAYLOR WAS THE FIRST BORN, BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL AND THEN GAVIN WAS BORN AND HE WAS VERY HANDSOME.  GAVIN REALLY LOVED SPENDING TIME AT LINDA’S AND ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE MADE HER BRISKET AND HE GOT TO SPEND THE WEEKEND.  THEY WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF HER LIFE.  LINDA AND I TALKED FROM THE ASSISTED LIVING APARTMENT AND IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT ERIN, DAN AND THE KIDS.  LINDA, WE WILL ALL MISS YOU BUT WE HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES TO SHARE. AND THANKS TO OUR CELL PHONES WE HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES.  YOU GET TO GO BE WITH MOM AND DAD.  YOU WILL BE MISSED.  WE LOVE YOU,   DIANE (SISTER)


To the Berger-Rogers families, 
I am sorry to hear of Linda's passing.  Linda and I were in the same class at Shaker.  We would go places together; she would pick me up in her car, convertible I think, it's been so long ago.  I slept over her house a couple of times.  Although we lost contact in later years I remember she was a nice friend and was kind and generous.  Seeing her obituary brought back nice memories of our friendship.  Sleep well and rest in peace my friend.
Paulette Smith Johnston 

Linda will always be in our hearts and memories as a wonderful companion and support for the Glazer family during our dad's illness.
Her love of family was genuine and was present at most of our family events whether it was celebrating the Jewish Holidays. a birthday or wedding. She will be remembered.
