Thought for Linda E. McGuinness-Kamholz

  • Benjamin Papp says:

    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Linda. Linda was friends with my mom & stepdad, Karl & Beverly Laurel. My parents worked with Linda at Second Opinion and she was a gifted artist. Linda was also a great storyteller and had tremendous humor. After my parents moved to Texas and I followed a few years later, I hadn’t seen or talked to Linda for sometime. However, my mom kept in touch with her and she visited my parents in Texas & Louisiana a few times. My older sister, Kim, and her daughter, Kristina, visited with Linda many times when my sister lived in Waukegan. I had great memories and many laughs of Linda when she visited my parents house in Gurnee in the 1980s & early 90s before they moved to Texas. I talked to Linda a few years ago to inform her that Karl had passed away which was in early 2019. Karl passed away in Dec 2018. We had a great talk and laughed at many memories. She will be missed. The Papp/Laurel family extends our sincere condolences and deepest sympathies to Linda’s family.

    LUV,
    Ben Papp
