Deepest condolences to the family on the passing of your dear loved one. Linda was a valued member of the Lake Echo Lioness Club and spent many hours preparing used stamps for the District Stamp Project. She was always volunteering to help whenever she could. Rest in peace Linda. Janet

I am sad to hear of Linda's passing and was fortunate to talk with her on the phone a few days before she passed away. It was fun as a kid back in the 70s to see her in Liscomb at Nanny and Grampy's house when all the uncles and aunts and cousins would be there on the weekend. Guitars played and people sang and drank rum by the wood-stove on Saturday nights. May she rest in peace, Mark Rudolph
