I've been thinking about you on your birthday weekend! I  missed phoning you and singing Happy Birthday to you and meeting up with Tim Hortons for your sour cream donut! 
You would have loved this weekend with the sun shining and the Spring fragrances of fresh cut grass and flowers that are starting to bloom.  You would have told me of what you have done in the garden and also what you were planning to grow this year. I know for a fact that the beauty of Earth does not compare to the absolute beauty of what you are experiencing in heaven! I miss you my dear friend. Happy Heavenly Birthday Linda! ❤️💐

Linda and I worked together at Shannock many years ago. To this day I don't think I've met anyone with such a sunny and warm personality. I'll always have fond memories of that time.

Linda and I met in 1st Grade. We played with dolls, made beaded jewelry, played squareball and rode our bikes all over the neighbourhood and sang in our loudest voices. We attended different high schools but remained great friends. When we got together we would laugh and laugh. She had the best smile and best laugh and would always sing Happy Birthday to me in her loudest voice.  
I'm sure that she leaped into Jesus's arms when he took her into  Heaven and laughed as she held Him tight!
I love you Linda and will miss you forever my sweet, dear friend.

I had worked with Linda and continued our friendship over the years  as we had long conversations about country music , reflections of going to country concerts ,life and going to dinners at Carols with co-workers from Shannock. Linda was a generous , giving person who always mailed Christmas cards every year . Linda  will be deeply missed. RIP my friend

Game day in Vancouver- Canuck’s vrs Flames

Out for a wonderful dinner with my cousins Linda, Annalisa and Tante Leni.

Linda was a very special, loving and caring cousin. On my many trips to Vancouver over the years from Calgary, she welcomed me and made me feel “at home” away from home. Her hospitality, infectious smile, warm personality and heartfelt hugs will always be with me. Linda had a passion for her Canuck’s, me the Flames and we shared a friendly rivalry.
We have lost a shining star in this world and I will miss her dearly. She is now in heaven.
Hallelujah!

Though our paths hadn't crossed in over two decades, I will always remember Linda as one of the kindest people I've ever known. Her heart was big and true. The world will be a lesser place without her in it.

My condolences. I remember Linda well from our days at David Thompson. She was always so sweet and full of life. May her spirit soar.

we miss you Tante

This picture came up on my FB feed On Sept 10.   It was taken at the MCC Sale where Linda & her family always had a booth.  Linda & I were friends from church and elementary school.   We kept in touch through phone calls, visits and her yearly Christmas letter.  She was an awesome friend always thinking of others.  I’m sad I couldn’t visit her but I will always remember the last 3 words we said to each other during our last telephone conversation.  Missing you my friend ❤️

Dear Tante Leni, Anneliese, Doris, Wilf and family,
Our hearts are broken. Linda was such an “extra special “ cousin! We will so miss Linda’s random calls, birthday calls and Christmas letters. Linda  always made us feel special, important and deeply loved and cared for. Dave and I will cherish our last visit with Linda in July. 
Hugs and kisses (as Linda would say),
Heidi & Dave, Martin and Rosie❤️

My wife Lily and I worked with Linda for many years at TSC Shannock in Burnaby. We'll always remember her laugh, her smile  and the joy she brought to all who knew her. We still sent Christmas cards to each other every year, hers we're always Cowboy themed and always signed
" Love and hugs, Linda-Lou".
Which we're sending back to her.
Rest in peace my friend. ❤️❤️❤️

Linda was one of the kindestple have ever known. She laughed at all the dad jokes I told and found a few to share with me.  She was always ready to give a positive comment and a much needed hug. Linda will be truly missed.

When Linda retired she was my last Bestie out of Ruth,Judy and her to retire. I’ve worked at Opus 11 yrs when all my Besties from work retired. Linda was one of my strongest friends who kept me grounded and smiling. We would meet for dinners just to catch up and make sure everything was good. Everyone teased her she was the fastest picker in the warehouse and it was true no one we’ll ever compare to my Bestie 
I miss her birthday phone calls and her beautiful voice cause it was with love ❤️ ❤️
I love you Linda and know you will be watching my back always❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
Your Bestie from Opus Ruby

Linda made me smile each day I worked with her, and will continue to aid in making my days a bit brighter long after her passing. She was such a genuine, loving person who will be missed by many. Her kindness came to those around her without judgement or cost. I will look back on our days at Opus together fondly; classical Wednesdays and our ever growing piles of daily practice artwork come to mind.

I'm glad I got to see her one last time before her passing. We love you and will miss you always, Linda. Rest in paradise. 

"Good-night guys and gals (spoken in sing-song)." - Linda, everyday leaving the warehouse

How do you say good-bye to a friend as dear as Linda. You don’t. We have been the best of friends since we were 14. So many wonderful memories stored in my heart. And our friends that we shared over the years are still in our lives today. To know Linda was to love her. I will forever be grateful for our last visits while she was in hospital. I couldn’t bring myself to say the words ‘good-bye’. Instead, I said that I would love her and be her best friend until the 12th of never.

Linda loved all of you and her family was so very key to her life at Opus.   While she continually shared stories of your family events, I knew she also really appreciated the Opus work family that she pulled in around her.  Linda had a very special and unique soul that we will miss.  From our work family to yours, this is a huge hug to all of you!  

In honour of her love for dark chocolate, I'm raising a really good 70% chocolate square to my friend today, in fact she'd encourage me to enjoy the full bar so I will!!

Linda always gave everyone huge hugs when it came to Christmas breaks.  She will be missed

Linda was such a joy to know. We often shared breaks at work and her warmth and good humour would light up the darkest days.
Farewell, Linda!
