    Upon hearing the sad news, I can not believe, I won’t be hearing from my good friend any more. She was truly a wonderful, kind and caring woman. Linda and I worked together for many years at Canada Post. I give my heart felt sympathy to the family. She will be greatly missed.

    It is with the deepest sympathy that we extend our heart felt condolences. Linda is now relieved of the burden of her illness and we pray that the family may find solace in that peace. I had the honor of knowing Linda for many years through her time at Hickory Ridge. Linda was always so very kind to me and offered personal support and encouragement to my work and my life away from work. I knew Linda as someone who always valued the needs of others before her own. Linda was an avid supporter of Hickory Ridge, the Chicks Morning League and most notably, the Pumpkin Open. Linda was always part of a team which embraced this event with superb team costumes and unrelenting play in what were some horrific weather conditions. Linda always had a smile and was a great contributor to happy times at Hickory Ridge. I will deeply miss her presence at the club. May peace be with you Linda.

    So ver, very sorry to hear about Linda, she was a good person and I enjoyed playing golf with her on our road trips. Sorry will not be able to attend her Celebration of Life as we will be in Cuba. Thinking of you both.

    Linda leaves a remarkable legacy for her family, friends and colleagues. It was an honour to have known her through my dealings at Canada Post. A donation in her memory has been made to the Canadian Cancer Society. She was a special person now remembered and honoured with sympathy.
