I've been friends with Linda and Denny(through Patsy) for a long time now and they have set a bar so high for a loving couple that nobody can even come close. I mean how many couples do you know who have only one car, they did everything together, never separate, joined at the hip. Patsy and I had so many good times together eating out, l playing music, and especially playing Euchre together , the men against the women with Denny always ready to pounce on Linda and Patsy with the last card usually setting them whereby Linda would call him "stinkybutt".
Linda and Patsy would almost fall over each other to get a piece of dust on the floor or a crooked picture on a wall. Nothing wrong with that, slobs like me need that kind of order.
But on the serious side Linda's core was pure gold and if you ever lacked confidence, she was a great exporter, ready to see the good parts of you . Every memory of her will be a fine treasure to hold onto. Love you girl, see you at the gate of Heaven, I suppose you'll have the place clean as a whistle when I get there.
Thoughts and Prayers to Denny, Sony, Jimmy, Dennis and Heather. I guess you could say Linda was the closest thing to being an aunt to me. She was my mom's (Patsy Borchers) best friend and I have memories of her going back to when I (Derrick Plsek) was 4,5,6 years old and beyond. She was around us more than any of my real aunts. Linda & mom would tag team as often as possible and drag us kids into K-Mart on a weekly basis. They would usually pile us kids into one of their two muscle cars. Linda had a Ford LTD & mom a 69 Pontiac GTO. Yes, they would burn rubber at stop lights and bounce the car.
Linda was always smiling along with Denny. Her house was spotless with sweeper marks in the shag carpet and table tops always sparkling clean just like my mom. Linda knew how to put a smile on everyone's face with her crazy sense of humor. She always had my mom in tears with laughter and vice versa.
At times we lived right by the Morgans. I remember Mt. Aetna apartments in Huber Heights where we would hang out with the Morgan's and Linda would fix us kids lunch after playing in the streets or in some field where we built forts. Linda always had cans of Chef Boy Ardee Spaghettio's and Meatballs on hand. That's what I would always request. They had this picnic table type of furniture in their kitchen with slick benches that we would all run to and line up and sit on. Great memories with the Morgan kids.
Then there was the family trips to Wayne swim club for the day. Or drive inn movies or the Flicker Palace with car loads of us kids. Linda could pull teeth better than anyone. She was the only person that my brother and I would let yank those loose baby teeth right out. We would lie down on the kitchen counter top, head in the sink and Linda would joke and laugh. Then BAM! Before you knew it the tooth was pulled.
Finally, I'll always associate the movies "Saturday Night Fever" and "Smokey and the Bandit" with Linda. Those movies were huge hits when we were young. Mom & Linda would blast the soundtracks to those movies over & over. To this day I can see mom and Linda singing along in their muscle cars driving all over Huber Heights like they owned the place.
She will definitely be missed!
With Love and Sympathy,
Derrick Plsek
My best memories of Linda were at Wayne Swim Club with our young kids and the adult activities that were held once a month . In particular was the night that we had a 50's sock hop. Linda and Denny, And all the rest of regulars were there and Proud Mary came on radio ad Linda wanted to dance and Denny wouldn't get up so Patsy grabbed her and they were singing with Tina Turner, oh, Did I mention they had a few ahh drinks? Linda was always laughing, dancing, talking, kidding around , and loving every minute of it . I am so sad that she is gone but so glad that she isn't hurting any longer.
My heart grieves with you.
May our Creator keep you all.
Sincerely and with love,
Harriet Paintet
