On behalf of all of us in the Psychology Department at Laurier, who knew Linda when she was our admin person, I would like to express our condolences to Linda's family and close friends at their loss.
I remember Linda as a cheerful very well informed person who helped me as a new faculty member at Laurier get to know the administrative ropes. This was something she did for all the people who walked into the Psychology office. I never saw Linda angry with anyone, but rather she was the sort of person who always wanted to help and make sure that the issue which brought you into the office was addressed to the best of her ability. In the years she was involved in the department she made the place hum in a gracious manner. I am sorry for your loss.
Rudy Eikelboom, Chair of Psychology
