Promise Me You'll Remember

Linda Simanella Keener loved puppies, maybe even just a little more than people, but she did love them both. She had a Sicilian father John and a German mother Martha, and she favored her father's Italian side of the family. Her father taught her how to play the flute and they performed duets together. In Promise Me You'll Remember, author Ronald E. Keener offers a memoir of Linda's life.

Six months after Linda's death from cancer when she was sixty-seven years old, Keener began this remembrance of his wife. He shares a host of highlights from his life, her life, and their life together, a relationship of thirty-seven years. Promise Me You'll Remember narrates how Linda loved to laugh, had a deep sense of humor, and delivered her own one-liners. A person of charm, style, and taste who hailed from the heartland of Springfield, Illinois, Linda also had the common touch, too.

Filled with insights about marriage and relationships, life and living, and death and dying, Promise Me You'll Remember pays tribute to Linda Keener and the mark she left on the world.
