I’m sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. I have fond memories of Aunt Marie’s house in St. Lawrence. I remember Linda’s smile and sense of humor. I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend her memorial. My thoughts are with family.
We wish to express our sympathy to the family of Linda. I had the opportunity to be Linda’s nurse when she resided at Miller Good Samaritan. She always had a smile for me, and she will be greatly missed. RIP in the arms of Jesus.
Our hearts and love are with the family. Linda will be missed by all.
