I just met Linda this summer. The few times I spoke to her at their property I could see her passion for her family & the love she had for children when I saw her with her grand-daughter Simone…her eyes lit up.
I also saw her at a Gymkhana event in the summer, again, as she watched her children & husband, such pride & love in her eyes.
I am deeply saddened for the families loss of a beautiful wife, mom & grand-mother. May she rest in peace with the angels in heaven & may God be a great comfort to her family & friends as they mourn.
Blessings,
Renata Neufeld

Laughter, humor, strength, heart, compassion, pride in her family and the life she created, pride in her work with young children and their families. These are just some of the thoughts that spring immediately to mind when I think of Linda.
She was, and is, a great, great woman and I was blessed to have known her.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Teacher Linda. We are one of many families that are so grateful that our children began their education with Teacher Linda and Teacher Lori. When we were trying to decide whether to start our son in French Immersion or English kindergarten, Linda gave us wonderful advice that has had such a positive impact on our children.
Teacher Linda will always be the in the hearts of many.
Please know you’re in our thoughts.
