Guest Mom2Shiloh Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I do not know any single person who has made as big a difference to greyhounds and those who loved them as Linda Jensen -- I was so deeply saddened when my daughter told me I needed to come read. She helped thousands of hounds, hundreds of owners, dozens of kennels and adoption groups and yet each individual greyhound mattered deeply to her, as though they were the only one she was on a mission to help. She brought me my Callie (Leecadia, my first greyhound, Harley Stardancer's niece) from Kansas back in 2008. What she did not individually drive, she organized, coordinated, put together, was Always there with help and information! I just cannot imagine for the life of me what we in New England are going to do without her. Thank you Linda -- I'm so glad I knew you. You will be deeply, deeply missed for a very long time!

brandimom Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I never had the pleasure to meet Linda and her family but I knew who she was. I am sad that she left us but on the other hand happy to know what a greeting she had at the Rainbow Bridge. My sincere sympathy to the family and friends left behind to pick the pieces. Godspeed Linda........you made a huge difference in this world and now you will make a huge difference at Rainbow Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Linda was also involved in our Shadow's adoption. Obviously she helped many other greys as well and made many friends throughout her life! The passing of Linda leaves a void in our hearts as well. God speed Linda - you are already missed. Robin, Judy, and, Shadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoofBert Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) WE met Linda in 2003 when Dancininthedark became our pet. Dancer, as LInda called him, was one of her beloved racers. thanks to LInda, he became our beloved pet. Linda always made time to learn of Sir D's latest antics, share information about greyhound health wellness and share ideas about greyhound adoption. She and her son also made Bert, Sir D's littermate, available to us. We all enjoyed the getaway weekends to Pet Expo in MA>... She was tireless.... but at the end of the Sunday Morning walk of those weekends, she had a tremendous smile on her face,content.....the smile of accomplishment, of knowing it was job a well done. She really enjoyed seeing all the hounds and their humans living life and having a greyt time. Linda will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her -- both hounds and humans. Godspeed Linda... now it's time for some rest..... let your spirit shine down from the heavens and be sure to help us all carry on with your work! Love to JJ and the jensen family.

Guest greytbookert Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm very sad to see this. If it weren't for Linda, I would have never known that our Booker's brother was Kid Creole and would have never had the opportunity to meet him. She will certainly be missed by hound and human alike.

Guest Keystone Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Linda was so very helpful to Keystone when we formed our group in 2007, gave us wonderful guidance and sent us many dogs over the years. I remember being with her in San Diego when GPA honored her work, she was almost embarassed to be singled out. Good speed, Linda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maddison Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh my gosh, I am so shocked to see this. Linda bought a Stinkerbelle from me back in 2007 for her lovely Bright Eyes. Bright Eyes passed away suddenly after receiving the sweater. It broke my heart that she lost her beautful dog too early. She loved those dogs so much. She was a truly remarkable person.

Guest Mom2Shiloh Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thank you for posting that, Nancy. I have never been to a memorial service in my life that moved me more deeply than the one for Linda Jensen today. And I've never been so deeply impressed with the huge, immense difference one incredible person could make in thousands of lives. Will be keeping her family, close friends and her greyhounds in my prayers -- I have no idea how the Greyhound community, especially here in New England, is going to get along without her. It's an absolute honor to have known her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
