    So sorry to hear of Mrs. Kipot’s passing. She was a wonderful confident woman. For years I worked at Bevan Ave Dental and treated the entire family. Later I became closer friends with Michelle and we car pooled to Camosun each day for a year. I would often run into Mrs. Kipot around Sidney and she was always happy and content with her life. Her husband and children were her top priority and seemed to love her role in life.

    Dear Mike and Family
    Pam and I were saddened to learn of Linda’s passing. We remember with fondness many happy times we shared, especially some wonderful skiing trips up to Mt. Washington. We are truly sorry but also know that as time passes the sadness you feel at this time will ease and will be replaced with all of the wonderful memories and life’s experiences you shared together.
    Our most sincere condolences for your loss.

    Linda’s beautiful smile is missed already. Although we never knew her as well as we wished we had, over the many years of being a part of our church family Linda & Mike, you demonstrated couple commitment and unconditional love for each other and your family. We are saddened by Linda’s passing. Mike, may you and your family all those who loved Linda find strength, peace and comfort in the memories you hold dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May she Rest In Peace.

    Oh Mike and family, I am so sorry to see that Linda has passed. I have thought of her often. One of Linda’s comments to me some time ago, when she was in hospital was “I have had a wonderful life and wonderful Family, I’m ok with that” I have never forgotten that statement. Bless you all.
    Anni & Jake Jakubowski.

    I only knew Mrs. Kipot for a short time, but she was so full of kindness and sincerity. A lovely, lovely woman who truly made me feel welcome and showed me such warmth and kindness. I feel, as I’m sure many others do, richer for having known her. My deepest heartfelt condolences to your entire family.
