"My Dearest Linda, the memories are still so fresh of our last conversation we had the day before your Sunset. How you vowed that you were going to keep working out at the gym and get in shape while making the best of your time in a foreign land. Not only did you keep me laughing then, who knew how much your spirit would still live on, when I'm trying to schedule a meeting in the "Villar Conference Room" at AMC Headquarters one of the biggest and most popular place to hold a meeting. You see my friend your popularity still exist, because you have to have pull to get on that calendar, people still love being around you and that truly keeps me laughing with joy. I miss you, I love you and I'm blessed to have known you."

"(Forever Young, like the journey of a rose. From bud to blossom, Beauty is your entire existence. It is the life you chose, from mountains peaks to valleys bottom. You fashioned a dream with persistence, Your strength like a falling feather. Winds against you only kept you afloat. Over trials and tribulations, we are still together. For you will never wither of fade, In my dream, a perfect flower. Whose fragrance, a melody that will never die. The truest beauty in every eye, never changing under the light of the sun. My angelic princess, Forever Young. by "Rashad Haughton") to AALIYAH"

"Linda,

I miss you so so much. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. My only link to you is thru your husband, Dave. We talk often. It has been almost three years since you left us. I can't believe you’re gone. The last times we were together was at Tony’s wedding and your birthday cruise. I will never forget that cruise. We had a wonderful time. That was the very last time I saw you alive. We've laughed together and cried together. I'll miss those times. I'll miss your crazy old school dancing, and how you could dance all night, if the music was right. I remember when performed at our Organization Day function, you, and Isaac performing your Ike and Tina Turner review. You were so funny. You was never shy and would try anything to get a laugh. Your smile was infectious; you could light up the room. All I have now is memories and lots of pictures of you, me, and the crew. Lynn and I have made sure that you will never be forgotten at the place you were employed the longest. Your picture will hang forever in a conference room that will be dedicated as The Linda Villar Conference Room. We will also honor you every year on the day of your death. We miss you so much. I will cherish all the memories. Dave, I understand your pain and will continue to keep you and the family in my prayers. I will continue to be there for you in any way that I can. I love you and I know and understand what you’re going thru. Keep the faith and hold on to God's unchanging hands. Linda will always be in our hearts and mind."
Willena of Marlborough, MA

"Linda,

"I miss you so much". Everytime I read my e-mails I thinks of you always sending me e-mails telling me to get off the phone so you can call me and I just smile.
