  • I am so very sorry for your loss. Growing up, I can remember walking over to the Lenius house before school and also having numerous sleep overs at the house with Lisa. Mrs Lenius always made me feel welcome and cared for. Her quick wit and kindness were second to none. Over the years I would bump into Mrs Lenius in the community and that feeling of kindness and love never changed. Thank you Mrs Lenius. - Posted by: Stacy Wytinck (Corbett) (Friend if the family ) on: Apr 17, 2023

  • I was so very saddened to learn about Linda's passing. My condolences to you Tom, and to your whole family. There’s nobody I knew who was more family-oriented than your Linda. I really admired her for her outlook on life, the way that she always looked after everyone, and how very much she loved you all. She was your rock! Linda was my friend…and such a fun, dear friend she was…always positive, cheerful…and up for any ‘adventure’ that we could think of. She always had me on my toes …trying out her own ‘invented language’ on me.”SERIALLY”…she really did! I will miss her contagious laughter and I will forever treasure the wonderful memories I have of our times together. - Posted by: Carolyn Peachell (Friend) on: Apr 17, 2023

  • So so sorry to hear of the Love of Your Life’s passing! So many memories, flood back of the numerous joyous times we spent together Tom. Death is so final, but Linda will live on in our hearts. Remember the time the Winters clan including my mother, and you and Linda attended a social at Scott Hall! We left, one for all, and all for one that night! Serious at the time, but uproariously funny now! Kinda of like the Jets and Minnesota Wild the other night! Having battled Cancer myself, I understand some of your insurmountable struggles. Take care Tom, and all the best to you an all your family, at this sorrowful time! 😥😥. Pat and Harold Winters - Posted by: Harold and Pat Winters (Close friends) on: Apr 15, 2023
