WICHITA, Kan. — — A Kansas high school football team paid tribute to their longtime photographer following her death Friday, four days after an accidental hit on the sidelines of a junior varsity game she was photographing..
Mel Gregory, who owned a local photography business with his wife and was her photography partner, joined several other family members at Northwest's game against Heights High School on Friday just as the couple had done for years, the Wichita Eagle. All the players wore"LG" stickers on their helmets that will be there all season, and there was a moment of silence in her honor before kickoff.
“Linda was an amazing person who breathed life into our students here at Northwest,” coach Steve Martin said after she was critically injured. “She would go out of her way to make each kid feel important in her own unique way. Her passion for kids was amazing, but it went deeper than taking pictures for Linda and Mel. They were a part of our football team and always will be. They are family!"
“Linda is the third grandmother to my sons and that is something I’ll never, ever be able to repay her for,” Chadwick said. “But what is so amazing about Linda is that as much as she loved my family and as much as we loved her, it was that same way with so many other people.”
