Alana and Family,
I want to offer my deepest condolences at this time of deep sadness. Linda, touched so many people more than will ever sign this book. She was a beautiful woman who played an important part in my life. Whenever I think of Linda I will remember her smile and kind heart. As she starts the next part of her journey in the spirit world she left a footprint in this world that will be felt for generations. Linda rest in peace.

Dear Alana and family,
As most urban natives can attest, Linda was a bright light in all our lives. I met Linda while working at what was the Native Friendship Center on Cote des Neiges. Linda played a big role in helping secure funding (the MUKUSHAN was a beautiful event!) and researching the current location of the NFCM(ohhh the many meetings and hours she dedicated to this!!). Little did I know the role that Linda would play in my life, but knew from day one that she was an extremely rare and special lady. I admired her for many reasons, her strong dedication to the native community, at times going beyond what was asked of her, her strong work ethic, her honesty, her smile, her warmth, and many of us can say definately her generosity. For those who met her or were lucky to have worked with her(as I was), we were truly blessed to be in the company of such a strong native woman. I will never forget her and Linda will definately be missed by the Montreal native community. Alana, I am sure you know your mom loved you tremendously. After every phone call you made to the office, she would always say to me, "Alana is the best daughter a mother could ever wish to have!", whenever she had a chance, Linda always let us know how proud she was of you Alana! I will miss hearing her say the occasional "OH SUGAR-PLUMS" or be able to tease her to the point where she would blush. I believe that she was taken from us too soon. Perhaps she was gone too soon to remind us how generous she was, with all of us, and to inspire us to treat eachother with the same kindness and care that only Linda was known for. I only wish I could have told Linda, in person, Thank you for coming into my life, for inspiring and guiding me! All my condolences to you Alana, and your family. I will never forget her and I will recall pleasant memories of her when I miss her.

Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Linda touched all our hearts and gave our children a special place at AWASIS where I was fortunate enough to meet her. She gave us mothers who had difficulty to reunite with our little ones even for a while. I am now with my children because she made me believe things would work out. Thank you Linda. Love Pitsulala, Brandon and Natasha.

To Linda's Family,
I went to high School with Linda and was so very sad to hear of her tragic passing. I remember Linda as such a warm and caring friend who made our teenage years a little easier to get through and a lot more fun.
May you find some comfort in knowing that she is so fondly remembered these many years later.

Linda.
Her name could be derived from Spanish meaning 'beautiful'...
Her name could be derived from German meaning 'tender'...
Linda was both - a beautiful woman with a tender heart and wonderul soul.
I offer my deepest symapthies at the loss of this magnificent woman who touched my life, and indeed the lives of all who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Linda always gave and always helped others. She passed away helping others... I don't blame Linda for trying to save her kitty. That's Linda. The world will miss Linda a great deal, as she was an angel whom I was fortunate enough to know and love.
I'm heart broken that you're not with us anymore. You'll always be in my heart. I love you Linda. Thanks for all the generosity, empathy and kindness.

Dear Debbie, Chris, Krista, Alana, Karim & Ron
What kind of words can I express - there are not enough words to express our heartfelt sorrow for you. We are in shock. Try as hard as you can to keep all the good times and memories close to you because that can never ever be taken from you. Everyone knows that Linda was a really kind soul. We will be thinking of you all, and hope in time that you can find peace with this instead of sadness. Debbie I know how close you were to Linda, my heart breaks for you, I cannot imagine your sadness. We love you.

Linda was a truly unique and beautiful person.
Her time with us was far too brief.
Though she is no longer with us in a way that we can see or hear or touch, she remains in our hearts, now and forever.

"In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their group ever came back after crawling up the lily stems to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what had happened to him.
Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings.
In vain he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.
The fact that we cannot see our loved ones or communicate with them after the transformation which we call death is no proof that they cease to exist."
