so Happy to have so many lovely memories of LINDA she was my closest and dearest friend on Sanabel and remember all the times that I was with her all the times we rode bikes together did YOGA talked on the phone when she was still walking the beach we walked together there is not a day that goes by

Linda was one of my mom's dearest friends. For thirty years they bonded over life's struggles and joys. When my mom became a single mother of four young kids, Linda was a constant source of support. And now as a mother I can appreciate how vastly necessary the love of a friend is in raising a family

Dear Linda, My adopted “sis” you called me and I never felt so loved. My Sanibel rock, who listened and gave of yourself so generously. Always smiling. Always cheerful. And fun! Always wise. And you loved our Sproutaccinos! You and Greg - always so humble and kind to me. Holding so much love alway

We were deeply saddened to hear of Linda's passing, but if anyone is on the fast track to heaven it is she. Linda was a truly beautiful friend to our family supporting us through, my first wife, Donna's long battle with breast cancer. She provided motherly counsel to my son John- starting in element

In 4th grade we went to a week long overnight camp. Each bunk had a group of students and an adult chaperone staying with them, usually a parent of one of the students. Well, unusually the chaperone assigned to us wasn't actually bunking in our room, she was next door. She introduced herself, was k

Circa 1972, Greg Scherer brought his girlfriend (maybe fiancee?) Linda Peters to a family summer picnic at our house on the river. Greg was gaga—actually they both were completely infatuated—and only had eyes for each other. Linda was so much at ease, a complete natural in the extended Scherer fami

I have so many memories of my sweet aunt Linda, but the memories I adore the most are from my adulthood. I live in Rochester so I’d get special one on one visits from Linda when she’d come to see Sis. On one of those visits she was sitting in my living room and it was mad chaos with my 3 young kids.

You were such an amazing mother. Fourth-grade week-long adventure camp, you knew I needed some time alone. We left the auditorium event and snuck into the empty cafeteria building for a quiet pop, just you and me. I loved sharing you with my friends. I always knew you could mom for everyone and st

Hoping to send our love, for you all to feel from afar. A traveling hug from this long island to your homes & hearts. Your mother opened her arms & heart to us in such a beautiful way each & every time we were close & together. It shaped our lives with joy to be near her & your families. We are fore

Linda’s Poem My trike in heaven was waiting. My loves on land were crying. But all of us knew, that with God being true, We would all be together flying. Flying with hope, flying with love Flying as if on the wings of a dove. As I believed it would be, I’ve been set free… And I welcome new life

I met Linda when I attended a farm dinner in Tburg alone. She invited me to sit with her entire family and treated me like I belonged. To me, Linda was loving, spontaneous and courageous. She shared her time and advice generously. I am grateful for the moments I was able to share with her. Thinking

We were fortunate to have experienced Linda’s kindness and generosity as our friendship developed after she and Greg settled in Trumansburg. There are many examples we can cite, but her eagerness to share her beloved Sanibel Island with others is a memory that is particularly bright. During our visi

Linda is a word they use in the Spanish language when something is sweet, lovely, beautiful, and good. What a perfect name you were given. I am so blessed and lucky to have called you my auntie. You always made me feel at home, and like I was one of your own whenever I was with you. Your strong and

Every time I saw you Auntie Linda, I learned something from you, I laughed with you, and I felt loved by you. Twenty-two year ago, you threw a wonderful wedding shower for me at your house. I remember us all gathered in your big, beautiful sunroom laughing and sharing advice. You put people at the c

Linda you were an amazing special friend. Although we had only known each other for 5 years it seems like a lifetime. We had so much fun together, always got into trouble, looked out for each other but the most amazing spiritual woman I had ever met. Many meals together, volunteering at Noah's Ark

I knew Linda through her son, Tom. I only met her a few times, but I could see where Tom got his trademark characteristics of being friendly and warm. She will undoubtedly be missed by those who knew her, but she also had an impact--and will continue to have an impact--on people like me, who see Lin

We met Linda when she was visiting Ithaca 20 years ago. She immediatley made us feel part of her family. Her smile and kindness was contagious. Too many Linda love stories to write. One favorite is when we had just had our son and were in the same hospital Linda was having surgery in. She walked i

You were the first friend I made in the sixth grade at Incarnation School when my family moved here from WI. I was so scared because my twin had to stay at the public school and I had never not been without her. You included me in everything! You were ALWAYS nice to everyone. We were lucky to go to

Sending love to the Scherers on the loss of their Linda. I love the image of her waving and smiling on her pink tricycle in Sanibel, what a wonderful way to spend time in the sun. I have so many memories from when I was in school and hanging out at the Scherer's barn and home with Emily. We had so m

Linda's smile could light up a room. I don't know that I ever recall her without a smile on her face. She had a great laugh and sometimes it even sounded like a giggle. I loved seeing her around Saint Michael's and tooling around on her bike. I had the pleasure of going on several women's retreats w

I just hugged Linda one week previous at our Trashion Fashion show… If I had known it was our last hug… I would of held her tighter and made her laugh again. Linda and Greg are apart of our “Ding” family with their generous time, hard earned money and best of all friendship. Words can not express t
