When you look at the news, look at the state of the world and know now how much you miss Linda's ability to sum up in a pithy comment, the tragedy and the comic truth in a situation

When I heard the words 'tribute (on Radio BBC7 last Saturday) to Linda Smith from Jeremey Hardy', I assumed the word 'tribute' to be to someone still with us, It just didnt calcualte in my head as a tribute to a woman who had passed away. When I checked and saw this news, Like others who have mentioned..." how did I miss this terrible news ?"... I dont want to believe I have, it is as someone has put, 'Its just not fair '. I can hear her distincitive voice now and whilst her body has left this world, Linda Smith's legacy will always be here. She gave us the gift laughter and that, thank God, will be with us forever. Our sympathies to her family.

I have just heard of the death of Linda Smith by way of Jeremy Hardy's tribute. She has left a wonderful legacy and will continue to make us smile for the rest of our lives. Thank you Linda. Thoughts are with your loved ones

An all-round good 'un. Will miss seeing her on TV.

I've only just heard about Linda's death. How have I missed this? She made me laugh until my ribs ached. Condolences to her partner and family. No doubt she's having a ball in that great stand-up in the sky.
I've only just heard about Linda's death. How hav, June 2006
I don't know how I could have missed the news - I only just heard of Linda's death when it was noted during the BAFTAs. Shocking, and so sad - she had a lovely cool manner, and always made me laugh out loud - which scared the neighbours when I was gardening and listening
