I have known Linda for many years, both as a colleague and friend.  She was someone I always aspired to be.  Kind, patient, thoughtful and creative.  She encouraged people to think about things from a variety of perspectives.  She will be missed.  My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Linda had outward style, concern for others, a calming voice, accumulated wisdom, inner stillness, and a deep connection to the world around her. She will be missed.

I met Linda many years ago when we joined Newcomers around the same time. We immediately clicked and maintained a good friendship subsequently. We shared many moments of laughter together and many heart felt discussions. Linda was a private person with a very kind soul. I will miss our walks and coffee dates. RIP Linda.

My deepest condolences go out to Linda’s family and friends. She was a lovely gentle soul and will be missed.

I've known Linda for about sixteen years or so.  She joined our Sage-ing International group here in Victoria and what a welcome addiion she was.  She has taken many courses, took an active part in all groups, and took leadership roles in Sage-ing Wisdom Circles.
A more generous, gentle spirit, I have never known.  She contributed to my life by her genuine personal sharing and greatly inspired me.
