    We loved Denny & Linda so much! We had been friends since before they were married. We bowled with them. We knew their children while they were small. We have many fond memories of our times together over the years. We can hardly imagine a world without Linda and Denny.
    Our sincere condolences to their dear family.

    Our sympathies and prayers are with Linda’s family. We will miss her presence at the bowling alley. I am thankful I was able to bowl with Linda again these last few years. Back in our heyday, Linda and I bowled in tournaments across the city, with Denny and Pete cheering us on. I cherish those memories and the many laughs we shared.
