Condolences
Our hearts go out to Patrick and his family. Linda lived her life with kindness, patience and understanding, and I am so glad my children were brought up with that influence in their lives. Linda will be sadly missed by all of us, especially Amanda who was born on her birthday and shared her love of horses.
My heart goes out to Linda’s husband, family and many, many friends! She will be truly missed and loved by all.
Linda was an amazing lady, full of life, and always had a smile for one and all. She was an outstanding spirit and I loved and will cherish our many conversations at Robertson’s where she was one of the “family”.
Dear Pat, we are devestated to hear about the passing of Linda. – I am lost for words – I was so hoping she would overcome this illness. I have been thinking about the 2 off you a lot, hoping and hoping for a miracle.
I am sooo sorry for your loss, she will be forever in our memories. She was a dear friend and one of the nicest and most generous people I have ever known. It has been a privilege to have her as a friend; Scott always said she is one of the coolest women he knows as she loved football and the 2 of them would always talk about the sport they both loved .
Linda and I shared our love for our animals; they will miss her so very much . Pat , our door is alway open for you, don’t be a stranger.
Love Brigitte and Scott
Patrick, the Hill family is here for you. We loved Linda dearly and will miss her beautiful smile, generous spirit and always positive attitude. Rest in peace Linda.
Sending my condolences to you Pat, I always looked forward to going to Robertson’s and seeing Linda and the great service she gave me.
My heart goes out to you Patrick. This is way too soon and way too quick. Thinking of you and praying for you.
Dear Patrick,
I knew Linda for only a few days as I shared a hospital room with her in late May. In her conversations she glowed when she spoke about you and was so concerned for your welfare. I so much admired her calm spirit in her circumstances and her patience with those around her, whether she was waiting for someone to answer her call bell or whether a meal was late. She so much just wanted to go home. May the God of all comfort strengthen you and may the memories of your dear friend/wife make you smile.
Pat, Ken and family. Linda will always have a special place in our hearts and memories. We will miss her so much but will see her spirit in each flower, hummingbird, golf course and puppy we encounter.
Patrick, our heart goes out to you in this time of need. Linda was a beautiful lady and will never be forgotten. If you need anything, please let us know as we are there for you and you are in our minds..
Dear Patrick, our deepest sympathy goes out to you and Linds family today. She was such a lovely lady and when Barbara and I met, she always made Barbara feel a part of the firefighters wife’s group. We will never forget her. She was one special lady…blessings and hugs from Terry and Barbara Turner
John and I will miss Linda, her exuberance and love for all her animals, her love for you, her home and yard.

So sorry to hear of Linda’s illness and passing. I didn’t know Linda very long, but we had some great times at Robertson’s. I was thinking of you guys the other day, and remembered you telling how shortly after Linda retired, she walked in the house after looking after her animals for the night, and said something. You thought she was getting after you about doing something, but she had actually said something to your dog! I’ll never forget how you laughed together! Know that Linda was well loved and will be missed. Take comfort from your family and friends and prayers.
Nancy
Dear Pat,
We extend our most sincere condolences to you and your family today.
Ralph and myself are truly blessed to have known Linda over the past few years. We will forever cherish her sweet smile, tender spirit and the laughs we shared.
Linda’s birthday will forever bring an extra special smile to my heart as her and I shared the same day. It was such a joy and honour to stop in at the acreage where I was born/raised and always be greeted with warm hugs, pie/ice cream and great visits.
Our lives are richer for the few years of knowing your precious Linda – she definetly left a wonderful imprint on our hearts.
May the Lord wrap you in His comfort and peace in the weeks/months ahead, Pat.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Ralph & June
