I want you to know you made my day. In high school I went with my Dad to nursing homes and played the piano while they sang. He was a Pastor. My heart has always been there for the elderly. Maybe through someone like you our nation can get on the right track by loving and caring for our aged which they certainly deserve. Thank you and I will pray for your work and will support it. Ruth

Ms.Rona,
My only comment comes from Mr. Quaid himself, he did nothing to stand by his wife, I know this sounds terrible at face value.
As you said they have no privacy, no time to reflect, to talk to make a decision. It is as if America calls the shots? DIVORCE!
The sad part in it all is perhaps his action of innocence, I think as years went by and Meg Ryan was closed mouthed, so still ‘the bad one.’ Maybe this was her reason as she told a news reporter in my defense, ‘Dennis has committed adultery for years’. I would like to hope she may not have said this if he would have stood tall and said, ‘you don’t know about our marriage, do not put me on a pedestal.’ As you have said, you find little integrity today.

Rona,
Discovered your wonderful tribute to Linda a little late but I think your words are wonderful. It’s difficult to express what Linda’s friendship meant to me, however, I feel a hole in my life since her passing. What started as a business relationship in 1983 grew into one of the closest friendships I’ve ever had. Linda is a person who I thought would always be in my life and I think of her every single day. I knew she was ill, but I always thought she would rally (wishful thinking) and I know she gave it her best. Our last few times together doing sleepovers (like a couple of kids) and playing Ultimate Rummy till we couldn’t keep our eyes open were just so much fun. She won almost every game! What a special person she is; I still feel her presence.

I am delighted to see such a wonderful tribute to the life of an extraordinary woman. Although I’ve worked for and with many professionals over the years, working for Linda has been the most memorable. With her diverse interests and zest for life, everyday was a new quest. She had the ability to make everyone feel “fabulous” with just a smile and a blink of those beautiful blue eyes. Quite and reserved in demeanor, I observed as she pursed her vision with extraordinary skill, clarity and compassion. Her courage in life is an example to us all. “May her memory and vision live on forever in those who loved her.”

Hello Rona, how nice to read your lovely tribute to Linda. How wonderful for you ladies to have that special relationship with each other. That is so very precious. I only met Linda in January at Issel’s Clinic in Santa Barbra. From our first meeting I felt drawn to her. I enjoyed our time talking and laughing together. And I was equally blessed when I met Fred and one of their daughters. I was very sad to hear from Fred of Linda’s passing. May the Lord richly bless you and all you do…Carole

Dear Petunia, Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right and I whole heartedly agree; no one has the right to cheat on anyone, period! My piece was an attempt to deconstruct the added strains to celebrity marriages, which includes the scrutiny that they are under—at all times—by the public. I, in no way, want my comments interpreted as an excuse for infidelity!!! So thanks for giving me the opportunity to address that emphatically! Rona

Dennis Quaid had no right whatsoever to cheat on Meg Ryan for the many years that he did. She did not deserve that. As for his career: he has only had a bunch of huge flops the last few years.

Thank you Rona for the beautiful tribute to the sweetest dearest friend any of us will ever have. Linda and I have shared laughter, tears and joy for nearly 30 years as our children grew together and our lives took such parallel paths, even moving to the Valley the same month and year from our old neighborhood in Hope Ranch. When Linda became ill we both shared our struggle with breast cancer as we were diagnosed about the same time. Her love of life, family and beauty helped sustain me and we both became committed to live fully in the present moment. This disease did not defeat her spirit. She has been an inspiration to me with her courage and acceptance. I know that her gentle soul continues to surround those of us who will always love her. Thank you dear one for gracing my life these too few years. You will always remain in my heart.

What a wonderful tribute to such a courageous and gracious woman. I only had the pleasure of meeting her when she was so ill, but she put on such a strong front. Said she would see me later when she felt better. Rest in peace. She will always be watching over her family and friends.
