Linda was a full time homemaker and her world revolved around her children and family. She was the baby of her family and the only one to leave Missouri in order to follow her dream of living in her paradise of Nassau, Bahamas. She was employed by the resort hotel, Emeral Beach and it was in Nassau were she met and married David.

After nearly 10 years and two children later they left The Bahamas; had a short stay in Missouri where child #3 was born and then onto David's home province of Quebec where child #4 was born. For the next 22 years they lived in a lovely home on the side of Mont St. Hilaire and raised their family.

I had a chance to speak with Linda about a month ago and we talked about events that she and I shared together and with others.Her laughter made me laugh! We agreed that this would probably be the last time we would talk to each other and her last words to me were "I love you matt" and before I could respond the phone went silent.She will always be remembered! I love you as well, Linda. matt

I am so glad we reconnected, however briefly, for a time at Foxboro Green, Linda. Jack and I had fond memories of golf lessons and then golfing with you and Dave at the Waterloo Golf Academy in the summer and fall of 2002. I miss the happy family sounds from coming from your home across the field from me. Rest in peace.
