Barry and Family My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Linda was so special. I knew her through the Byron clinic -- she was always so knowledgeable and helpful. We often talked about U.S. shopping trips and she updated me on the family. I saw Linda last year, shortly after she had been diagnosed and, in true Linda fashion, she was facing the future with a positive frame of mind. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Barry So sorry to read about Linda's passing .I met Linda many years ago when I worked at Carling Heights Medical Centre and reconnected with you and her at McCormick Home where Linda's mother and my mother-in law were in residence .Also recently this past December when I bumped into both of you and she informed me of her diagnosis .It was a sad and teary moment and even more so now that she is at rest. I will always remember her lovely smile and cheery disposition. My condolences to you and all your family .Sincerely Carol Allen

I was sorry to hear about Linda's passing. I knew her when we worked at UH. Then, we met again at Oxbow. Sometimes our groups would meet at dinner after playing golf. She will be missed.
