I first met Linda years ago when my family moved to the Cochrane area, and I went to school, grade seven, to Manachaban. Though we didn’t end up running in the same circles, Linda and I noticed each other and liked each other. As kids we played sports together and sat on the bus together, then, for a time Linda was married into our family. And while marriage, even between two very lovely people, doesn’t always work, it was wonderful to have Linda so often in our midst. I always found there to be a simplicity — or pureness — to her that is rare in this world, and it really is the epitome of beauty. I am so sad today to learn of her passing, and though we didn’t see much of her these last few years, we will very much miss her in the world. Our love and prayers go out to all Linda’s family and friends — including the four-footed ones. Our hearts, too, follow her and wish her peace.
