Linda always came across as a genuine, sweet woman in interviews. RIP.

Paul and Linda set the example of what a true marriage is about. It's not about roles and responsibilities but about tenderness and kindness in all they did together. RIP Linda.

When you are truly in love with someone, and they pass away, it's engulfs your whole life. My husband died 4years ago, and i still cry over my losing him.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

The truth is they really loved each other. It is so sad for her children and for Paul.

It is sadly all-too-common for a star as big as Paul to succumb to the "rock and roll lifestyle" of endless partying, excess and screwing tons of female fans. I admire Paul for being so grounded: so committed to his wife and family. I once read that he and Linda lived in small houses when the kids were small because "I wanted us to be tripping over one another. In big houses, people get separated and lost." (words to that affect). He is definitely an inspiring person as well as an inspiring musician

Wow...what a story. I have alot of respect for Paul. He seems very down to earth for being one of the most talented musicians in the history of music! And it's such an awful tragedy that her life was cut short due to cancer.

Every time I listen to my Beatles playlist and I see Paul or he is singing I ball my eyes out~~Because I think of Paul and Linda and how much he loved her~~Especially when I hear "Maybe I'm Amazed"..One of my favorite songs~~So sad~~R'I.P. LINDA~~~💖💖💖

I met Linda and Paul at Billboard Magazine 9000 Sunset LA. They were there to sign the advertising agreement for Wings first album. The album contained the Live and Let Die soundtrack for the new James Bond movie Live and Let Die. My Uncle Peter Heine was director of advertising for Billboard Magazine. I got to hang out with Paul and Linda will Peter went down the hall and made some changes to the contract. Paul and Linda were an elegant couple and they were very well mannered.
I didn't think it was a big deal they were just friends of my Uncle. I was 13 years old.
Thank you Paul I haven't forgotten.

I’ve always loved so much Linda ! She was so talented and beautiful ! The fact she played in the Wings was a real opportunity to change the view of bands only made with men, to introduce the importance and great chance of mixed band. She had completely her role to play and her place to be as much as Paul and the other musicians of the Band. I think that’s why I was attracted by this band, added of their music of course. 😍

They adored each other, they were beautiful partners in parenthood, musical creativity, and love that’s the truth

[monicawylie]

They adored one another. It’s obvious that they were the love of each other’s lives. I was very upset over Linda’s death. I knew Paul would grieve hard. I believe that’s why he fell into a sour relationship with his next wife. I’m grateful he’s happy with Nancy Shevell. This is something I’m sure Linda would have wanted for him. To be happy and not alone.

[theyrekrnations]

I have her book of photos, she was in that scene and took good photos of most all of the famous musicians of that era.

wife and mother.

Interestingly the Paul bonded in his life with two people who had lost their mothers, like he did. Linda whose mother died in a plane crash and John Lennon's mother was killed in a road accident.
Most people are wrong about the Beatles break up, because they basically started to grow up and drift apart after Brian Epstein their manager died. In fact both George and Ringo temporarily walked out during recording sessions and John was the one who really wanted to break up the band, because he was the leader who started it. He met Paul when in The Quarrymen, who had a friend who knew John, then Paul introduced George and when Pete Best didn't work out as a good enough musician on their first singles record, they got Ringo was playing another Liverpool group Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. But in the end it was really a business dispute between Paul and his in-laws and John and the other two, who wanted Allen Klein who was a bit of crook ( they didn't realise it until later...he also hoodwinked the Stones and others ) that destroyed their fragile relationships.
