Linda Bickel Grassi, raised
in Wildwood Crest and a graduate of Wildwood
High School,
was a Glenwood Avenue Elementary School teacher in
Wildwood, NJ for 20 years. She was
fondly known to everyone as a daughter, sister, wife,
mother, and friend.
When diagnosed
with ovarian cancer, Linda’s close friends and co-workers came together to
raise funds to help defray the enormous costs of her
treatment and the ancillary expenses.
Even though Linda lost her battle with cancer in May of
1994 at the age of 46, the work and
the love continue through the Love of Linda Cancer
Fund, Inc. Visit the

Flowers for Love of Linda
Crest Savings Bank employees continued a
tradition this year by putting together a flower sale to benefit the Love
of Linda Cancer Fund. The flowers were sold to employees of
the bank who were encouraged to purchase them for
$1 each and offer them to co-workers on Valentine’s Day.
This is a great way to tell co-workers they are appreciated
while helping a great cause. Nicole
Martindale and Danielle Palumbo, both of the bank’s Wildwood branch, ran this
fundraiser.

Once again the Love of Linda Cancer Fund Spaghetti Dinner
was a great
success! This would not have been possible
without the generosity of
the North Wildwood Elks Lodge
for the past 12 years and
our dedicated volunteers. Our
gratitude goes out to the
Elks for use of the facilities and to
Vince Piccirilli for his
time and effort in accommodating
our needs. And
compliments to Jim Meehan and his staff
who prepared a marvelous
repast. Service was superior
thanks to the Elks’
Ladies’ Auxiliary, the high school student
volunteers, Boy Scout
Troop 75 and Scoutmaster Dan
Petela, and the faithful
volunteers who make it all happen
to support our patients.
