I am so saddened to read this after I happen to go to her FB page. She was one of my favorite co-workers and remember how we always shared some crazy, sarcastic humor with each other. I'm sure she's making heavenly jokes for all. Peace, Linda!

Dearest Gary, Shelly, and Scotty, I am truly at a loss for words. My heart aches for each of you, and I wish more than anything that I could be there to embrace you in this moment. Lynn-your mom-was such a special person to me. While I was living abroad, she befriended my father, checking in on him through his difficult health challenges. When he passed, she was there once again, offering me comfort in a moment I needed it most. She was not only a dear friend but a steady, unwavering presence in my life. She cherished my children, keeping their pictures on her fridge, and I felt my love for her grow deeper each year. I will always treasure the memories we shared-our adventures, the laughter, and how she embraced my granddaughter with the same love she showed all of you. She remembered every holiday, every moment that mattered, because she loved with her whole heart. My biggest regret is not having had the chance to speak with her recently, and the weight of that lingers heavily today. Just hours ago, I was ordering her favorite chocolate-covered strawberries for Mother´s Day, and now, trying to comprehend this loss feels surreal. I know your grief is immeasurable, and I can only imagine the depth of the void she has left. But if there is one certainty, it is that Lynn´s greatest joy in life was loving and caring for each of you. I pray you find comfort in knowing that wherever she is, her spirit is still with you, holding you close, just as she always has. One day, we will all be together again-with our Lord and all our loved ones who have gone before us. Until then, may you find peace in the beautiful life you shared with her and the love that will never fade. With all my love,
Annette Stephen &
Arya

I knew Linda from Church. We both went to Watertown Evangelical which happened to be right around the corner from her home. Will never forget her walking to services faithfully every Sunday with the rest of her family. The vocation she chose to enter into spoke volumes about her character...Nursing.

Linda was a good friend and a light in my life. She made my days happier just knowing she was in the world. She will be missed.
When my late husband, Kevin, was terminally ill, Linda made the journey easier for him, Loren and myself. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and care Linda, Gary and Shelly provided all of us during that journey.

My heart is broken to hear of Linda's passing. I worked with her at Blaire House and we become instant friends. She was the best DON I have ever known. Her kindness and compassion for the residents was remarkable. We also enjoyed going to craft stores together with our friend, Lorna, we had lots of laughs together. My sympathy to Gary for his loss. Linda was one of a kind. May she rest in peace.
