• I have delayed writing about you for a while but as Christmas comes closer I feel the presence of your spirit as I reflect on the past year and on what Christmas and family mean to me. For me it is about nurturing, caring, the spirit of giving and family. How could I not think of you when you possessed all of these qualities? As I pack up cookies for the family, I remember you were always included in the list. When I wrap a gift, I think of the friendship you gifted me. As I decorate with festive colours I think of your beautiful tree and the decorating you did during the holidays. How you always made everyone feel comfortable in your home and you always had snacks packed away: just in case. These were the small and large things you did for everyone. So as the Christmas season comes closer, so does my bond with you. Love you and miss you so dearly. Her angel's face, As the great eye of heaven shined bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place.

• I called her "Linnie" and we met over 25 years ago through our ex-husbands who worked together in real estate. We became great friends and had seasons tickets to the Winnipeg Jets for 2 years together. She was my friend before my children were born. That is a long time. Today as Christmas is quickly approaching I thought of her with fondest memories as I was debating on starting on my famous "Christmas letter". She always sent me a card every year and always said "I hope you send one of your Christmas letters this year!' She was my biggest fan! I promise that even if I get it out late it will be dedicated to you Linnie. We had alot of good times together from hockey games to Canasta for hours and even though I moved to Vancouver over 20 years ago we still kept connected whether is was a talk on the phone, a short visit when one of us was passing through town or the famous Chistmas letter. I was so fortunate to be able to go to Winnipeg in July and see her for the last time. I even bought Jeannie's cake for us to share. As sick as she was we still talked and laughed about things in our past, the day my daughter was born accidentally at home was always one she would bring up. I'm sorry we won't have that chance anymore. I love you and miss you dear friend. Bev - Posted by: Bev D'Cunha( Tang) (Friends for over 25 years) on: Dec 08, 2014

• Linda and I met for the first time about six years ago at Elmwood High School. Despite the fact I am a life-long Toronto Argonauts fan we always had the best conversations about the CFL. It always amazed me on a professional level how she always saw people in the best light possible. You are missed tremendously and hope you enjoy the game tonight from the best seat in the house. - Posted by: Nelson Patenaude (Co-worker/Friend) on: Sep 19, 2014

• Linda we will forever miss your smile and laughter as well as your wonderful sense of humor. I am grateful that I got to call you auntie even though we aren't really related. Heaven is so lucky to have gained an angel like you. - Posted by: Chantal (close family friend) on: Sep 19, 2014

• Linda, I've never been good at this sort of thing but I just wanted to say that I love you with all my heart. You were more than a family friend, you were family. I will always remember how you lit up a room and made us all laugh until we cried, cards/domino nights and dinner get togethers when you would all fill the house with laughter with the gang (mom-Trina, Steve, Roger, Cindy, Ed) You fought hard and I know you're in a better place now. You were one of the strongest women I know and always looked up to you. You were kind, loving, and always there for others with open arms which I always admired. You're sass and sarcasm will always be there with me! I know you're up there giving me that Linda look as I type this. Love you. Wish all the loved ones, family and friends the best. Rest in Peace Linda. Lots of Love, Haley Bobs - Posted by: Haley () on: Sep 18, 2014

• Linda you gave of yourself to everyone who crossed your path with your caring heart. You dedicated your life to children as a group home director, youth care worker, family support worker, foster parent and educational assistant with unconditional love. Our hearts are broken by losing you...those beautiful blue eyes always twinkling, your love, and your laughter. My best friend, my confidante, the person who knew my history, the one who always understood me...life will never be the same without you. “ Lady” you fought long and hard, rest well now, the pain and struggle are over. Linda you leave behind you your brother Ron, your nephew Mark and his wife and child, your life partner Roger, stepson James and his partner Ashlee. In addition to all the many friends you had, you leave behind countless students, youth in care, staff and peers whose lives you touched just by being you. The “six of us” is now five. The “3 Ho’s and 3 Amigo’s”....Steve and myself, Ed and Cindy, you and Roger are no longer complete. You watched our children grow from infancy to adulthood. You will always be in our hearts, we love you very much. It was an honour and a privilege to know and love you Linda. We will strive to carry on without you to continue your work of unconditional love and care for others. I love you my friend, Trina - Posted by: Trina Reid (Friend) on: Sep 18, 2014

• Rog, with my deepest sympathy our thoughts and prayers go out to you. One thing we'll always cherish No matter what life sends A memory of the happiness Of us just being friends. Linda was a great person, always there for students, staff and me Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Rob (Co-worker) on: Sep 17, 2014

• Thank you my love for letting Jamie (Ashley/Pinky) (Selena/BOO BOO BEAR) and me enter into your life, It has been quite the road trip we have been on, Only fair winds and calm seas lay ahead of you now my love. We are so proud of you, you fought so hard these last 3 and a half mths of a 9 mth battle with pride/dignity/never give up mind set. And when I was down you'd hug me and say you will be ok. But she would also say (Remember life does not play fair so sooner or later you got to suck it up buttercup) What a sense of humor. Even with the needles, pills, chemo and pain, you had a smile when someone would walk in. Linny loved Her Blue Bombers and Jets and her nephew Mark and great-nephew Gabe. She was so happy to see her nephew Mark from Victoria BC while in ICU. I am going miss watching the Bombers, eating popcorn with you. Life is not same anymore. Thank you so much my Bobby for everything. So till we meet again. We wish to thank our support team. Dr Harris/Dr Altman, St B cancer care team/St B ICU team/St B 6th floor staff, many of you became very close to her over 110 days and did whatever you could do for her caring. I thank you so much it's hard to put into words. Sally, Louise, Kim, Ashley, Judy, Ana, Alexis, Tulip, Lorie. Forgive me if I forget a few of you. To our Family and Friends (Ron, Mark, Alex, Sue, Gabe, Nash, Miss Lourdes Solis (Mark's Mom), Sandy and Rick (whaz up Salmon)(Trina And Steve Sweetpea/WMIM/Reid)(Cindy and Ed Locutus of Borg Markowski) Raymonde (Tina)(Connie-Jane) Bev Jacky(Mardi/Manning) Nat, Dawn, Sarah, The Elmwood Highschool, Mike, Rob, Terri, Judy and staff.

• Linda and I met almost 3 1/2 years ago when I started sub-ing at Elmwood High school. When I got my first term there, she took me under her wing, and showed me the ropes. She was like the mom I don't have when I needed her to be and would giggle and smile when I would call her Mama Nash, and smile that smile of hers that would light up the entire room. You were a great listener Linda, gave great advice and would brighten everyone's day. You made such a huge diffrence not only to the staff you worked with but changed the lives of many children by just being you. You are loved and missed Mamma Nash. I guess now you truly be "the Flash". Rest easy my friend you'll always be my favorite "F B" - Posted by: Sara Gillies (Co-worker/friend) on: Sep 17, 2014

• Linda, you will always be in the hearts and minds of everyone that you met. I used to make you crazy with my antics, and loved making you laugh. Love you Linda, rest in peace my dear friend. - Posted by: Rick Salmon (Friend ) on: Sep 17, 2014

• Linda Louise...Together.....we have been to Heaven, Hell and back for the last 40 years. We held each other up at times, and we celebrated the good times and were always there for each other.

Linda, you have left a big hole in our hearts....xoxo - Posted by: Jo Brandon (Close friends for 40 years.......) on: Sep 13, 2014

• Linda and I met as teenagers in Winnipeg and continued our friendship for 34 years. We had a great visit about six weeks ago which I will treasure for ever. I called her Nash and she called me Manning. Sleep tight Nash. I love you and miss you. Manning. - Posted by: Mardi Read (long term good friend) on: Sep 13, 2014
