David, Carla, Jason & Family,
My heart and condolences go out to you. I wish there were words to help ease the loss but I know all too well there are not. I love you all and am holding you close in prayer. Auntie Linda was such a loving part of my childhood. I always felt at home when I stayed with her especially when she let me take a bath in her special tub. I loved listening to her and dad tell stories about them growing up. His best story was when Auntie carved her name and address in wet cement on a freshly poured sidewalk. She said my dad was often the mischievous one but never in trouble “because he was the baby” and “they knew better.” Heaven sure gained 3 wonderful angels over the past 5 months and our family is left to miss them. I love you Auntie Linda. Give my dad a long hug from me. My heart continues to break for our tremendous loss.

My sincere condolences to Linda’s family. Linda and I were in the same elementary classroom for 5 years, choir and cheerleading at St. Francis de Sales. She was such a sweet and good person.

Send thoughts, prayers and hugs to the entire family. I knew Linda through her husband Dave, he was my direct boss at Garceau Insurance. Linda had the best laugh and the biggest heart. She will certainly be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

So sorry to hear about Linda. She was a very dear friend of my mother, Jeanne Roberts. She was in water aerobics with her and would drive her to the classes!
I met Linda through my mom and treasure the many discussions we had about our children and grandchildren.
She will be missed. Condolences to the family.

Dear Carla and Jason,
I have often thought about you and your Mom through the years. Such fun on River’s Bend!
She was a lovely lady and our road was blessed with lots of kids, playing together. and having fun.
I remember Jason “speeding down the road in his little vehicle – about 3 0r 4 yrs old.,right down the middle as I came around a curve.
He was grounded!
All you teenagers playing outside after dark – Carla – Those were the days for us oldsters!
Hugs to you both! Tom and Phyllis Burge and family
