October 13, 2022 at 5:57 pmDear Laura, Luc, and Family, I was deeply saddened to learn of Linda’s passing, and have so many fond memories of our times together – usually centred around the piano as Linda studied the piano with me and as you, Laura, waited patiently as a very young, perfectly behaved little girl. Music making in your home was always a joy, too, and those Christmas trees! Linda always turned them into festive works of art. My heart goes out to you all. May you be comforted by your own wonderful memories of a very special lady.

I loved seeing you both and looked forward to our conversations. My sincere condolences to your family. May dear Linda rest in peace and may her memory be eternal. She is in the arms of the angels.

October 18, 2022 at 7:19 pmLinda, you were always such a wonderful part of our CASCA Team. Always the voice who so lovingly taught the students how to stand up for themselves and for others.. The virtues you taught, with such passion and dedication, will live a life time in the hearts of the children who were fortunate to have attended your classes. You will be both missed and never forgotten. Sincere condolences to your family at this time..
