Marilyn McBride (Early)
Murray & Family, Olive, Carman & Family,
I am so saddened to hear about Linda’s passing. She was a courageous and remarkable woman.
I have so many fond memories of time spent with Linda during our younger years, including church events, Caledon East baseball, camping trips and working together at the Town Parks Department.
Linda always had an encouraging or kind word for others, a huge smile and a quick wit.
I am so thankful to have known Linda, she was a one of a kind friend. It’s so unfair that her time has been cut short.
I wish your families peace and strength in the coming days.

Keep all of your cherished memories and thoughts close as they will help you through this sad time. We are sending our good thoughts & strength to all of you.

I have a heavy heart as I reflect back on Clark family gatherings. My dear cousin Linda was to me that special cousin whom I would look forward to hanging out with to be either a dance partner at weddings, as no other boy cousins would dance with us, or a good chum to explore farmers fields or go climb a tree house. I will miss her very unique raspy voice and always cheerful smile. I send light, love and hugs to her beautiful daughters and adoring husband. She was a beacon of light among our Clark family members and I will greatly miss my funny, sweet cousin. I will miss her kind nature and bubbly personality. I will miss my dear friend Linda. On behalf of myself, Savannah, Kyuss, my fiance Dave and all the Black family members, I respectfully convey our condolences to all her loving family members during this difficult time.

Murray, Carly, Rachel, and Laura,
I’m so, so sorry for the loss of Linda. She was such a fun, bright woman whose smile always lit up the room when she walked in. I only knew her for a short time but I consider myself so lucky I got to meet all of you through Connie. It will be awful not to see her smiling face and hear her laugh (she the best laugh!) when I come for a visit, so I can only imagine the loss you feel. Think of the wonderful lifetime of memories you made together and know she’s reminiscing with you from afar, glass of wine in hand and nothing but love for all of you.
I’m thinking of you all and sending lots of hugs and positive energy your way.
Bill and Heidi Munday

Josie Millington
Laura, Rachel, Carly, and Murray,
I was shaken upon hearing the news of Linda’s saddening departure. She was an amazing person with a bright and warm heart. She radiates a positive and happy glow in all of my memories of her and my visits. I can’t fathom what the four of you are going through, but if Laura or any of the other girls need to talk I am always a letter away. She was a spectacular mother and I know that with the memories of her and her strength living on inside of all of you that things will eventually start to look up. Linda will always be in your hearts watching over you and will continue to be proud of the young women that she has cared for. The three of you were the best part of her world. She is greatly missed.
With much love, Josie
Gabe Millington
Dear Murray, Carly. Rachel, and Laura
I’m sad to hear Linda won’t be with you anymore. It may not be often, but when we visit it’s always the best when we all get together. The smiles and laughter was always something to look forward to. Linda was always so approachable and kind, I never felt out of place when I was with you all and it hurts to know I wont be able to say hello to a friend next time I’m visiting.
I wish you all the best,
Gabe
