Anna Laird My deepest condolences to Linda’s family, as well as her friends.
We met in Newfoundland in 1967, and have remained connected through all these years, sharing many wonderful times together. Linda was a terrific friend – I shall miss her terribly.

Donna Nikkel Linda was the best of the best! She was funny & warm & outspoken & always concerned about others. She was a proud & much loved member of the I.W.S.W.D.W.C. along with Frodo her beloved pup.
I’m so glad I got to have Linda for the years that I did & am only sorry that “we didn’t get to be old ladies together” & that we didn’t get to do “another painting project”!!
My heartfelt love to her mom Grete, who has been Linda’s rock through all of this & to her two girls Jenn & Kim, as well as the rest of her family.
I will always miss & remember Linda for the rest of my life.

Marilyn Thornton Linda was a wonderful work mate. She really went out of her way to help out. We used to get together for a bit of a laugh now and again in my office. She was a good person who genuinely cared about her work and her colleagues.
My condolences to the family as I can’t make the service.

Brent Johnston I’m so sorry to not be able to attend the service this week, I’ll be away in Vancouver with work. But Linda would understand that only too well. She was a great support and team member at work with me for so long….went out of her way to make things work or to help someone in need in the office.
She will truly be missed but never forgotten and appreciated by me.Brent

Susan Healey Two Christmases ago, Linda made us a beautiful tray. It has graced my livingroom ever since. On sunny afternoons, the light catches her handiwork – a little of her spirit glows there.
Like the tray, its maker was a work of great beauty. We’ll remember her always.
Sending each of you love, light and strength.
~ For Linda ~
In the winter night
Snow swirls in air
Falls soft on ground
To gather there
In the winter breeze
Memories drift
From mind to heart
Gentle and swift
I hear them whisper
These sweet words they give
“Do not despair,
An angel lives.”
Love always
~ Susan
