Linda Kemmish-Gray
February 9, 2013
Peacefully, at home surrounded by family and loved ones on February 9th, 2013, in her 73rd year. Survived by her devoted husband Bill. Loving mother to Gillian (Larry Baird), David Kemmish (Lori) and Ian Kemmish all of London, stepsons Jim (Shannon) Gray of Beamsville and Mark (Suzanne) Gray of Calgary. Cherished grandmother of Stephanie, Danielle, Kevin, Kyle and Ella. Dearly missed by her siblings, Joan (Ron) Herbert, Doreen (Ron) Lunn, Charlie (Anne) Pigott, and her nieces and nephews all from Linda’s beloved birthplace “Jolly Old England”. Linda’s love of people, life and laughter allowed her to amass many a friend throughout her journey and the family is grateful for the many calls, visits and support given over the past year throughout Linda’s illness. A special thank-you is extended to the palliative care nurses and Dr. Robert “Bob” Dunkerley, Linda’s longtime friend and physician, for their professionalism and attention to her care. Visitation will be held on Friday from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at The Church of St-Jude, 1537 Adelaide St. North (at Fanshawe), where Linda’s Celebration of Life will follow on Saturday, February 16th, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations to My Sisters’ Place would be greatly appreciated by the family.

You were a welcomed addition to my extended family and I'm so glad I was able to get to know you and spend some time with you over the years. You will be greatly missed. Sending much love to Bill and your family. I'll be remembering you with a smile in my heart.
There are no goodbyes for us wherever you are you will always be in my heart. Our girls night out dinners will be different without you. You where always the bested dressed and not a hair outta place. It will be the little things like that i will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. I will miss you my friend! I will never forget you. xo
Dearest Linda.how much I've treasured our 50 year friedship! We were best friends until the end, holding hands like we never wanted to be separated. The joy & fun we had over the years I will hold in my heart for ever. God Bless you my darling.
My condolences to Linda's family. In the time that I knew Linda I have enjoyed talking with her, her love of life & her smiles. She will be missed by many that she has encountered over the years.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes they watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. You were an inspiration to me and you helped me become the person I am today. I still laugh when I think of our adventures. I will always love you and will keep you in my thoughts. Melissa xoxox

My thoughts and prayers are with Linda's family and friends near and far. I remember meeting Linda and thinking what a sweet, demure women. As I got to know her better, I realized she had class, a wicked sense of humor, and a giving heart. And to you Linda, your grace and strength during your battle has been an inspiration to me. Our hearts are sad, but you are at peace. God bless
