A REMEMBRANCE of Linda LaMacchia from her sister, Karen Hartnett

It is with sadness I am notifying you of the death of my sister, Linda LaMacchia. She died on July 31st, of what appeared to be a heart attack, while traveling in India. She died in a village, Dharmsala, where she had many friendships established over the decades, and from which she had rescued her dog, Puppy, years ago. She had delivered a paper at a conference in Hong Kong the third week of June, just before flying on to India. Her memorial service will be on Sept. 2, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at the Buddhist temple in Poolesville, Maryland: Kunzang Palyul Choling.
