Sharon Wheatley met Balgord in the Broadway cast of Cats and they became good friends. In an Instagram tribute, she said, “Even though Linda would HATE this (but love it a little, too) I am going to post some videos of her performing. Because of all of the wonderful things she was, to so many (including me) she was that rare talent who was built to bring down the house. Please fall down a Linda rabbit hole with me and lift up her dear husband, Andy Fenton, who must be deeply grieving. We love you, Linda. We love you, Andy.”
