Many of you knew Linda Tannenbaum as a kind and gentle person who was a friend to all. Linda was the Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Blues Society. She brought her many talents to us as a retired social worker and attorney. She was my dear friend and someone who I could confide in at any time. Linda passed away last Thursday after a brief battle with cancer. Very sad and very unexpected. She was being treated with chemotherapy when her body systems began to shut down last Wednesday. She was given comfort care for her last 24 hours.

There will be a service for her this Saturday June 5th at 2 PM with Visitation from 1-2 PM.
