I am so sorry for your loss, Rachel. Your mom was a great lady and I am glad I had the privilege to know her. Just know in your heart that your mom and dad are together again and watching down on you with a smile on their faces.
Suzanne & David Deeks
While living on Brenda Blvd. David and I got to know Linda, she always spoke of how she missed Doug, that he was the love of her life. While it is very sad she has left her family and friends, I find it comforting to know she is with Doug again, watching over all of us, sharing a laugh and are at peace together again.
You will be missed! xo

We often talk about the ‘early’ days in Timmins with lots of lovely memories of those times. Being able to catch up with you recently was a real joy – your bubbly personality and hospitality will be remembered forever. Rest in peace Linda. We love you.
God bless Bill, Doreen and family.

Times have been tough for you Rachel over the last year – your mum would be proud of the way you have coped. As hard as it may be to accept – she is in a much better place.

Dear Uncle Bill, Aunty Doreen, Stephen, Wayne and Tammy.
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
They’ll live on in the heart.
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Linda.
May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With love, the Knibb family: Roy & Judy, Alan & Sue, Dorothy, and Jo-Ann & Phil.
