    Don and I want to say just how sorry we are that Linda could not win this battle. She has certainly faced many challenges,, and managed to overcome what ever was thrown at her.. But this time,,, life had other plans for Linda. I am so saddened that the families of this beautiful soul will have to deal with the pain of her loss,, and try to go on in their lives without her now. I know when ever I think of Linda, I am going to remember her robust personality, her hearty laugh,, and I am going to remember her with a smile , because her personality was infectious.. and I always felt happier after running into Linda.. Hugs to you all,, God blessed you with a very special lady,,,

    I am so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. It has been many years since I have seen Linda. Back in the beginning of her marriage to Lorne, I used to babysit for Steven when they lived in an apartment in Lucan. Linda’s family lived next door to my family growing up and her little sisters were my best friends. Keep her memory close to your hearts and speak her name often ❤️
