I suppose in this instance, whether one believes the Bible or doesn't, the poignant words apply;
" Time and unforseen occurance befall us all."
Thank you Marion and Julie for such a heartfelt tribute to a beautiful soul. I only knew Linda through the pages of this website, but her wonderful natural kindness flowed through her keystrokes. I have cried many times since hearing of her plight. When Trev and Linda told us of her cancer, when it became clear that the treatments were not working, when finally the end was imminent, and at her passing. She has touched many, including me. I regret that I never was able to meet her in person, for it is her sort of person that makes the world a better place I believe.
I will, in the days and weeks and months ahead, continue to think of her. Last evening with my awareness of her passing, all I had to say to my wife was 'Linda is gone'. She knew of whom I spoke. She had and has a place in our hearts, and I am so thankful to have gotten to know her through this forum.
Linda, Rest in Peace.
Jeff
