Billy, Amy and family
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
I will always remember Linette as a very sweet person, always willing to help anyone, and always smiling. She was a joy to work with. I considered her a dear friend.

Billy, Amy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Linette was such a role model for me as a mother. She spoke of you daily and was so excited about William's birth. She followed Amy's pregnancy daily and updated us at work on everything that was happening. She was always there for me to lend advice when I had problems with my kids. I believe each person is put here to teach us a lesson to take with us and Linette taught me so much about patience, kindness and living life to the fullest. Take solace in the fact that her life touched so many here on Earth that her memory will continue to live on in each of us.

God Bless you,
Tracy, Tim, Cameron

Bill and family,
I'm am so sorry to hear about Linette's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. God Bless You!

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell's were spoken,
No time for goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears will flow,
What is meant to me to lose you,
No one will ever know.
But now I know you want me,
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today
A-Hollowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay.
