Ben and family My very deepest condolences, I just found out Linda passed from the newspaper. The last time I spoke to Linda was in 1983 she had stopped by my grandma Little's house on Mclean Ave in Selkirk and asked for my phone number.All those long years since we had seen each other and for other reasons. Yet she took the time to phone me to say congratulations on the birth of my youngest son and of my new marriage.It really meant allot to me it was a extremely thoughtful.It was such a wonderful surprise. I remember her gorgeous long red hair and smile.Remember us all going to the drive in movie? It was love at first sight for you both. My heart aches for you Ben I can not imagine the terrible loss you feel. I am sure Linda is watching over you all from heaven.
