I just found out about Linda's passing. We were friends at St Lawrence from grade 5 to 8. She was a beautiful soul who would never hurt anyone, called home to heaven to early. My condolences to her family. God bless

I haven't seen my Aunt Linda in quite a long time since I joined the Army and haven't lived up North to be there when Grandma went for visits. I used to go on most of the visits grandma went on when I was little and we would take her out to dinner etc. It is always sad to lose family, but even more so when it is well before the time it's more expected. I'm sorry I can't be up there for the Wake/Funeral.
