Joanne DeLisi & Gabby Gagliardi have fond memories of you from Eastern Heights (6th grade) Elementry School in St. Paul, Minnesota.You lived in the "rainbow" model home on Minnehaha & Hazel Streets. We played some baseball & catch after school. We had a great teacher (Mr. Skaj) out in the portable classroom. We went to Twins baseball game, Police patrol parade & picnic at Como Park & our 6th grade picnic at Excelsior where we went on the big, old, wooden roller coaster which is now at Valleyfair in Shakopee. You were only at Hazel Park Jr. High in Sept of 1967 & then you moved to Nebraska. We felt bad you moved & never got to see you again. We wrote a couple letters then list track. A fee years later I got your address again from your aunt who knew my parents. I wrote to you, got one reply but you didn't seem to be interested in keeping contact. About 20 years ago my husband & I were going thru Des Moines on the way to Branson. I phoned you to try to meet up with you for a brief visit but you said you were at your daughter's. Either it didn't work for you or you weren't interested? I found out later you passed away from your aunt. Gabby & I felt bad & you were so young! Then you son died 7 years later. We don't know what he died from? Rest in Peace Linda Ritter from your old classmates Joanne & Gabrial

I wish we hadn't fallen out of touch. You were the best softball player I ever had the pleasure to play with. And very modest of the fact. You were a great friend and so much fun. RIP my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Linda, she will truly be missed by everyone that knew her. I have many fond memories of hanging out with the Spurlock's who were known as the coolest neighbors on SW Phillip Street. Again, I am deeply sadden, and will keep your family in my prayers.
