Linda and I became friends due to her health and even though it was due to that she contacted me we became good friends. Linda was talented and I have lost a great friend, I will miss our long talks on the phone. I am so happy I saved all your emails those are what I will remember you by. I know you are now in peace and feeling no more pain. My deepest sympathies go to your family I feel like I know them as you spoke often to me about all of them. Your friend from Sask.
