Linda's pastimes included strolling outdoors, reading the latest paperback, enjoying a glass of wine, dabbling in the art of interior design, and simply relaxing with friends. Linda especially loved children. She was always thrilled to receive the latest pictures of her grandchildren. She would always follow-up with a phone call to hear the stories behind the pictures firsthand from Sage. She frequently babysat for friends and was known for always doting on the local children, giving them treats. No matter where Linda went she touched the lives of those she met.

Linda was thoughtful, considerate, and selfless. She would sacrifice herself for the betterment of others and was giving to the end. She touched many lives and will be sorely missed. Family and friends would like to express their thanks and gratitude to the staff of St. Joseph's General Hospital in Comox, BC who cared for Linda and made her last few days as comfortable as possible.
