I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. We were neighbours on Markson Cres for 5 years. She was such a lovely lady.  I am sure her family n friends will miss her dearly.
Sending love and sympathies to you all.
Doris Clipston.  

You are forever in my heart, Linda. I will always be grateful for your friendship. ❤️

I have fond memories working with your mom at Chedoke.  We had wonderful talks  when she came in on the off hours about all of you and life in general and she offered her motherly advice to me ❤️.    I think your father worked with mine at the Cancer Clinic and Linda knew him too.  I’m so sorry for your loss she was truly a wonderful lady and I will always think of her fondly. Sending you hugs and strength through this difficult time❤️❣️

We are very sorry for your family’s great loss. We remember Linda with fondness as we recall our hockey days together. 
You’re in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time,
With deepest sympathies,
Thomson family 

Linda and I only connected for a short time. However, I considered Linda a soulmate I never knew I had. These words never had a stronger meaning for me until now “Rest In Peace” Linda. ❤️

I met Linda at a LHYL show and she was the most incredible spirit in that room that night. I always felt I was in amazing company anytime she was around and feel so blessed that I was lucky enough to have met her. Sending you all so much love and support during this difficult time. 

I first met Linda while walking my daughter to kindergarten at Thornbrae School.  Dylan tagged along in the stroller.  We had many chats at school.  Caitlin was in my daughter's class.  We attended a school trip where we sat together on the bus.  I was very lucky to have heard many stories about her early childhood years. We had many chats together about life and our children.  A wonderful lady.  
My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Panton family.
May she rest in peace.

I was very sad and shocked to hear about Linda's passing. We first met in high school when she  started dating Glenn who was a fellow band mate in our neighborhood garage band at the time. I spent a lot of time with Linda  through my teens and twenties as her relationship with Glenn changed from girlfriend to wife to  family. I even did a brief stint working at Henderson Hospital where they both worked.  They felt like my extended family. When I think back to that time I remember Linda as someone who although soft spoken had a real spark to her personality . She had a great smile and smiled often. It was a pleasure to spend time in her company.  I feel lucky to have had her as a friend.

Dear Sarah, Erin, Caitlyn, Dylan & family,

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your wonderful Mom.
I went to Barton High School with her in the late 60's and she was in a number of my classes.   Your Mom was smart and had such a great sense of humour and loved to laugh.  She was also very beautiful and was always so sweet and fun to talk with.   Of course at that time she was dating your Dad and they were true high school sweethearts!  Your Dad was an all round athlete, handsome and also lots of fun to be with.   For all of his talents he was also very humble and didn't let it go to his head.  Had your Dad not been dating your Mom your Mom would not have had any problem getting a date in high school!  I have not seen your Mom much since high school but share  with you  in your loss of such a wonderful Mom and Grandma.

Will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Jim McDermott ( Hamilton)


 Sending all the family and friends of Linda so much Love and Hugs ; I will always remember her kindness, warm embrace and her love for music, I always had a dance partner and a chuckle  at a Live How you Live show.  Linda was an incredibly proud Mom to all of her kids and grandkids. When her and I  did a mini photoshoot one December she had so much more belief in myself than I did; but we sure had fun , she said to me once Janice - "You have to meditate till you levitate-" I pray she is levitating in absolute peace and bliss . God Bless Linda xoxo we will miss you !!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Linda's family and friends. My special memory of Aunt Linda was as a young child running errands with her and going to the bank. After we left the bank, I asked her why she had to get Monopoly Money at the bank. She had a good laugh and then explained the difference between American dollars and Canadian dollars to her young niece from the states.  

Mike, Christian, Emma, Justine and I extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. We are sending all of you support and love.

Sophie, Mike and family   

I would like to extend my condolences to Linda’s family. I remember driving our mom to the hospital the day Linda was born. I was one scared guy. We are saddened and surprised by her passing. Peace be with you Linda. You will be remembered in our prayers. With love, Frank and Ellen.

My sympathy to the family of Linda.  I have very fond memories of her as we were "hockey moms" together in both boys and girls hockey.  Linda was very proud of all of her beautiful and accomplished children.  May your memories become blessings as she lives in your hearts forever.  May she "rest in peace."

Sincerely,
Meg Petkoff

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Linda. I will always remember her as a wonderful person. It still feels like yesterday when I was younger, visiting the house in Hamilton on the hill and seeing her and all the family there. I remember her wedding and the fun afterwards. She had plans to visit us this year for my dad’s 90th birthday. Unfortunately, the plans for her and everyone else had to be changed due to the virus.
I will miss Aunt Linda and regret not being able to have seen her this year or be there at this time. I know she has a family that loves her and will always have her in their hearts. She will live forever in our memories.

Ore deepest condolences on the passing of Linda.  First met your mom in 1970.  Cannot believe where that time has gone.  This is a very difficult time for all of you.  Be strong for each other.  May she Rest In Peace.

Hey.
I only knew Linda during my Beacon Ave daus. 
Vera called your four little peas in a pod.
My memories will keep you alive.
Esp. A camping trip with Karen. We were not great campers. 

Al & I  would like to send condolences to the Panton family, it's very difficult to lose a mom. Remember her with, smiles ,laughter, love and music 🎶  
She will always be watching over you all with love.

I was so saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. 
She was a very kind and gentle soul who loved her kids with all of her heart. 
Spending time with Linda was always a pleasure. We used to visit this truck every Thursday to buy food and goodies for all of our boys at AGH. It was quite an adventure with lots of giggles. 
 Most of all, we enjoyed watching our boys play their music at various venues. 
Rest In Peace dear Linda, you will be missed. 



Aunt Linda was such a soft spoken and gentle person. It was great getting to see her over the past few years and being able to introduce my wife Kim and my daughter Kathleen and son Billy to her. I’m so glad that you were at the big family reunion. It was always so great to see you smile. Rest In Peace Aunt Linda and say Hi to Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Marie.

My baby sister and loved to spend her time with us last summer and happy we had a great time together and we will miss her .i am sure she is with mom and dad and Marie in heaven

I remember as a young girl probably 12  visiting Canada with my family.  Aunt Linda and her boyfriend at the time, Glenn, took me and my cousin out with them on a date.  We drove around Hamilton and I remember the night lights of the city.  As I was young, going out at night was such a treat and with my Aunt, even more special.  I am so saddened at this news and truly wish we could come up to pay our respects to the family. 
Love and condolences to our family and friends.  Susan
