LINDA JOANNE GRAHAM Linda Joanne Graham passed away at the Health Sciences Centre, on February 27, 2002. Linda struggled valiantly against the insufferable pain caused by Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction, the same disease that took her mother in 1979. Ill on and off for the past 15 years, Linda virtually spent the last four years in the hospital. Last May, she was the recipient of a four organ transplant performed at the Toronto General Hospital by Dr. David Grant. Dr. Gordon Grahame at the Health Science Centre in Winnipeg provided decades of care for both Linda and her mother. The family shares in Lindas faith in his talented ability and gratitude for his loving care over all those difficult years. Linda attended Tuxedo Park Elementary School, Balmoral Hall and the University of Western Ontario in London. Predeceased by her mother Jane, Linda will be remembered with love and admiration by her beloved partner Matthew Stewart, her father and step-mother Joseph and Carolyn; her brothers, Jim (Marina) and Bob; her Uncle Mel Michener; and Aunts Pippy Michener and Susan Graham and their children; her nephews, Nikolas and Joseph; her niece Elizabeth Jane; her lifelong friend, Elizabeth Hall, Linda and Jim, Scott (Daryla), Jon (Jodee) Stewart; step-sister Jennifer Fast (Arthur) step-brothers, Douglas (Jane) and James (Tijen) Reid and their children, all of whom are comforted to know that Linda is at last pain free, at peace and with her loving mother. There will be a funeral service at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5 in St. Georges Anglican Church, 168 Wilton at Grosvenor, with the Rev. Canon J.A. Harwood-Jones officiating. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations would be gratefully received by the Multiple Organ Retrieval and Exchange Program in care of Toronto General Hospital, 200 Elizabeth St., Toronto, ON, M5G 2C4 or the Winnipeg Health Science Centre Foundation, MS7-820 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1R9.
