I am greatly saddened, but I know she will be singing with the heavenly choir. I have many happy memories of working with her in theatre. It was always great to see her when I came to tune her piano. She was a gem. I will miss her. with sympathy, John Hall

Our condolences to Gerry and the family. So sad to hear of Linda's passing. We shared a lot of good times with her and Gerry, Round Dancing in Kingston. She was always kind and fun to be around, and she always dressed so beautifully. We also were fortunate to hear her sing. She had a beautiful voice and loved to play the piano and sing... especially hymns. She always smiled and seemed so upbeat no matter what she was going through. She sure made the world a better place! Paul and Kama Yantha

There are many happy memories growing up with my cousins Linda, along with David, Christine, Victor, Ann, Shelley and Sidney, while visiting and staying overnight on occasion in their big house in Sydenham, with Uncle Clifford & Aunt Erma. Linda’s beautiful voice, as she often sang in church, will always be a fond memory. Our sincere condolences to Gerry and to Linda’s Family. You are in our thoughts & prayers. Cousin Randy & Sandra

Have know Linda since day one. Her father. my brother, was much older so Linda and I grew up together. We played together and got along. She was more like a sister than a niece. Will surely miss her.

It was a privilege and honor to know Linda. I had to smile at the memory of her at Sydenham holiness camp this past July, where she was the cook. I had offered to write on the donation cans that were on the tables. She was very particular about how they looked, and I had to first prove to her on paper that I could indeed do calligraphy. After she thoroughly examined my work, then she gave the go ahead to write on those cans. It was quite funny. We really had a great time with her, joking around. Please know that we are praying for the family during this difficult time. From the Dave Johnston family.

Our condolences Gerald. As I write, I'm looking at the beautiful art Linda painted and gave us. Reminds us of her talents, generosity, love for everyone, and her beautiful spirit. She is at peace with God now. Our love to you, Melanie, Rob, Brooke.
