My Flight Crew Family,
This morning, Linda Snyder, my best friend and the smartest woman I ever knew, passed away. She loved our Boys as much as any of us ever could. We met because of them. December would have started our 4th year of wishing each other good morning to begin our day and Hugs at night, including last night. Most of you “knew” her. I loved my dear friend so much. The world will surely miss this amazing, gentle woman.
~Marie
From a meet and greet in 2013 when Linda was too ill to attend the concert. How appropriate:
So very sorry to hear this Marie. Il Volo has an angel watching over them now.
Sincere sympathy for you and all Linda’s family and friends. this is very sad news. x x x
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. You must have been such good friends. Prayers for all.
It is so very sad to lose a friend. Now at least you can say she has the best seat in the house. I am sad for you and wish I could give you a big warm hug.
Marie, I am so very sorry for your loss. May her dear soul rest in peace. You and her family are in my heart and prayers. What a beautiful friendship you shared.
Marie this is so sad. I know how close you were with Linda. I met her once with Leelee and we had a lovely dinner together and hung out in her home watching and talking about the boys who she loved with all her heart ❤️ I often think about her very in depth, informative posts here on the Flight Crew and how much she enjoyed getting them out for all of us to enjoy.
I didn’t know her well but somehow this hit hard and the tears flowed. She was a lovely person and she has been and will be missed very much. My prayers go out to all her family and friends for their lose of this very dear and loved woman who was so very close to our hearts.💕💕
I’m sorry to hear about your friend Linda. It’s never easy to lose someone you love.
Godspeed, Linda,…as you sail the Crystal Sea to those Eastern Gates of Pearl. Watch over our boys, and sing them to sleep each night with your silent wings and sweet whispers of God’s Love for them. We’ll abide by Ms. Marie, your dear friend, as is our place at the time of her grief. We all love you, Marie. My thoughts are with you this morning at the receipt of this news.
Very nice tho’ts–may I ditto them, Arlene
I am so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing, Marie. My sincere sympathy to you. Prayers to her family & friends. It is so sad to lose a friend.

My sincere condolences to you and to Linda’s family. She is now with our Lord and will be looking down on all of us as she shall continue to enjoy IL VOLO’S heavenly music eternally. So very sorry for your loss.
So sorry ! Our condolences to all her friends and family. <3
Sending much love and condolences to Linda’s family and friends! <3
So sorry! Our condolences to all her friends and family.
So sorry to hear about Linda. It is a special gift to have a friend with whom you can share thing every day. I know you will miss her terribly.
NOW she can apply to become the official ANGEL of IL VOLO. We need her to watch Ignazio for us.
I am so sorry, Marie. I too lost my best friend of 20yrs. A month ago.
My sincerest sympathy at this sad time in your life. In my prayers.
Dear Marie, hearing about the loss of Linda deeply saddens me, but I know that this is far from what you are going through right now. You are in in my thoughts and prayers and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family. Rest in peace Linda.
Marie: So very sorry to hear about Linda. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her family. Victoria
It’s all been said bettering I can, Marie, but please add my name to those who care about you and your loss. Linda was fortunate to have your friendship.
Marie, I am so sorry for your loss of Linda. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with her family as well.
I am so sorry for the loss of Linda. I didn’t even know her yet feel in my heart that we would have loved each other-if for no other reason than our common cord of love for the boys. May she rest in peace and may peace and understanding be with her family. Paula
Marie, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Linda personally, but I enjoyed her posts and we were bound together by love for our guys!. Every time you listen to Il Volo, you will know Linda is listening too!! She definitely has the best seat in the house now!! God bless you and all of Linda’s family.
Oh, Marie – my tears are flowing for you, her family, and for me. She was very special to me. Godspeed, my friend . . . . 💫👼🏻💞💫
Marie, my condolences on the loss of a friend. And it is sad to lose one of us that follows our boys so avidly. May your memories of the shared times you had be a comfort. God Bless
Marie,
I am so very upset to hear this news. I don’t know why but everyone that visits this site always seemed to be so young and uplifting even when ill . I will keep you in my prayers. We have all become a large family on this site.
Since Linda was part of the original members group maybe we could send some condolences to her family from us. I will e-mail Kelly.
Marie, remember…….
Our gratitude for Linda’s part in the birthing of the Flight Crew.
Our joy in the friendship she shared with you .
Our pain in the illness that claimed the last years of her life.
Our grief in losing her today.
Our love for the person that she was.
Our blessing that she spent this time here on earth sharing her sweet persona with all who were privileged to know her.
Our solace in knowing that she is safe and at peace.
She will be sorely missed not only by her family and dearest friend, but by all of the Flight Crew.
Our solace in knowing that she is safe and in peace.
I didn’t mean for that last line to be there again, but guess it bears repeating.
so sad to hear this news Marie. her name was one of those names I always thought off when I thought of Il Volo. I know now that they have a God-Mother in Heaven who will look after them even better than we can on earth. so happy to have known her because of three beautiful souls called Il Volo. I am sure she is going to promote them in Heaven to anyone who has not heard of them and fill Heaven with their beautiful voices. rest in peace Linda
My heart is heavy. I cannot express to everyone the loss I am feeling right now. I, too, loved her dearly. She was truly a good friend.
I met Linda 2 years ago when Il Volo was coming to Miami for a concert. Everyone was talking about who was meeting up with who and when I learned Linda lived close to me, I connected with her and we went to the concert together. I’m so glad she got to see them. She sent me a card recently and in it wrote “one of the best things I ever did was call a stranger to go to a concert.” That meant the world to me when I received it, but it is more special even now,
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a cell phone person. I text every now and then but I rarely use my phone. However, I just charged the phone last night. When I heard the news about Linda this evening, I picked up the phone to make a call and the screen that popped up was my text message and there on the screen was Linda’s last text message to me. It said “I luv you, sleep well.”
To you, Linda, I say the same: I love you, sleep well, my friend.
Leelee, So sad for the great loss to you and many of her dear friends. I did not know Linda, but if I had I’m sure I would have loved her too.
Dear Marie,
I’m so sorry! Just know Linda now wears the glowing wings we all occasionally hear fluttering around us. She is now a guardian angel for you, for us and for Il Volo! Grieve not! Lynn
Dear Marie:
I’m so sorry for your loss of a good friend. The love you shared with her will keep her near to you always. I wish I had known her.
Marie, I am so sorry. I thought she was getting better.
So sorry for your loss Marie.
Dear Marie, I didn’t get to meet Linda in person
but I did meet her through the Flight Crew blog.
She had such a great sense of humor and you
could feel the love she poured out to her friends
and Il Volo…….You two shared much love for
each other…..From her blogs she so wanted to
overcome her health problems and be back
active with the Flight Crew but I think now she
is feeling “fine” and enjoying her new home.
My prayer is for you and Linda’s family. God
bless you.
I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I remember the picture of Il Volo holding this sign when she could not go to a concert and thought how nice it was of you, Marie, to do this for her. I’m sure she was thrilled when she saw it. My sincere condolences to you and to her family.
Marie, I’m so sorry to here of Linda’s passing. I know that the two of you were close. I really didn’t know her, but did send her a few things in the mail. I’m sorry also for the loss you must be feeling.
