    Paul and Sarah,
    We are so sorry for your loss. Linda was an amazing woman, and a strong fighter. We remember her smile and her laugh, and how excited she was when each of you were born. We spent hours making kleenex flowers for her wedding, and had so many laughs…she and your dad were so happy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May she rest in peace with Greg.
    Love Heather and Rita

    Auntie Linda we are so very proud of how hard you fought and all that you accomplished during your long 6 year battle with ALS. You fought to see all 3 beautiful grandchildren born, to see Sarah walk down the isle, to see Paul find someone who makes him happy….oh the memories. We are going to miss you so much, but we both promise we are going to take good care of them…they are going to both be okay. Enjoy your time with Uncle Greg, hope you are on a long drive on the Harley. Live your life to the fullest…love you…xxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoo

    I went to school with Linda many many years ago. She was a very caring, loving person. I was truly saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Sarah, Paul, and Families. It was with great pleasure to have worked with an amazing woman, your mom. No matter what day it was when we came she always greeted us with a big huge smile. I can still hear her laughing hysterically when we all shared funny stories (hockey fights). Linda was a fighter and out lived many odds that were never in her favor. She was very caring and positive no matter the circumstance. We should all learn from such a courageous woman.
    Sarah your mom is looking at us holding your dad’s hand eating her favorite meal with her favorite drink saying…..I love it……I can taste it…..drink……walk…..move….doing the happy dance.
    They are both with you in your heart. You have two angels watching you and your families.
    My prayers and thoughts are with you.
    Denelle
