My deepest condolences to the Joa family. I had the privilege of working with Linda for the past 20 years. I always admired her for her kindness, integrity, commitment, and faith. She lived a noble and fulfilling life and I will greatly miss her and our conversations.
A beautiful life has left us and her presence on Earth will be missed. May her fierce love give you comfort at this time.
Thoughts, prayers and condolences for all of the family. In 1992, I met Linda at Northview Animal Hospital. I had just come off the trail and a 2 year sabbatical, not the best dressed for an interview. Linda hired me to hear “the rest of the story”! I am always grateful that she looked beyond my attire, whereby I spent 23 years at Northview and a long friendship.
We love Mrs. Joa very much. What a wonderful lady…and nobody cared more about family than her. We would be in our van heading to Pittsburgh in a heartbeat if normal times, but will pray as a family and remember her together. She will live on in her amazing family and in our memories. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Julie and family,
I am very sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was always kind and smiling when I would see her at Gardens. Sending prayers for peace and healing at this difficult time.
