I am so sorry for your loss Richard and girls and the rest of her family. Linda was an amazing woman whom I met over 30 years ago. May she rest in peace.

Kubla Khan

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
   Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
   The shadow of the dome of pleasure
   Floated midway on the waves;
   Where was heard the mingled measure
   From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!

   A damsel with a dulcimer
   In a vision once I saw:
   It was an Abyssinian maid
   And on her dulcimer she played,
   Singing of Mount Abora.
   Could I revive within me
   Her symphony and song,
   To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Dear Family Wilkinson,

Words are never adequate in moments like these. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this sad time. Linda, our neighbor was a wonderful woman. She always had a beautiful smile. She leaves behind a wonderful family. R.I.P.

I was very fortunate to meet Linda when we went back to college in our 40's at Surrey college. This group was a great bunch and I cherish their friendships. My deepest condolences to Linda's family and friends
Make you cherish the great memories who have had with her and make she Rest in Peace

I am at peace knowing you are out there still doing your light work. You will forever be in my heart.

When we first met 37 years ago we became fast friends. From our nights out after work at BC Tel when we were young and single, to cruising the Caribbean and driving Florida, to you being a bridesmaid at my wedding and then our yearly trips to the PNE. We had so many great times and memories that I will always cherish!! I will miss you my dear friend but will always remember your kind, loving personality, your beautiful smile and wonderful laugh. We had many great talks about our families and Richard, Rachel and Laura surely knew how much you loved them and how proud you were of them. Rest in Peace my friend.

Linda was quite the character!  She will be missed!  Our love and condolence to all her family.  Hugs to Richard,  Rachel and Laura.

I really don't know what to say but I love and will deeply miss you auntie Linda 
(Your best the best)

My baby sister was a Force of Nature!
Linda was predeceased by our brother Douglas, with whom she shared an exciting road trip throughout Northern B.C. As a young single woman, her passion for excitement was limitless - skydiving, motorcycling, skid stops in her Mini Copper with no brakes, and being the hottest chick on the cruise ship!
Linda had a strong sense of independence and responsibility and worked many years at BC Tel, before starting her latest career as a Teaching Assistant.
Undoubtedly, her greatest passion and strongest sense of pride came from her husband Richard, and daughters Rachel and Laura. There was no role she ever played better than that as a wife and mother.
You will always stay in our hearts as Dad's Mrs. Brown. our Pipsqueak
