Condolences & Memories (27 entries)

• To Rodney, Nickolas & Jessica, I haven't seen Linda for many years but still think of her often. Please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss. I have so many fond memories of Linda. She was such a strong, beautiful person. I knew her Investors Group days and when she was trying to have children and how her heart rejoiced on the birth of Nickolas and Jessica! You were so special to her. My prayers are with you as you are missing her and grieving for her. Heaven, though, has an amazing new angel. - Posted by: Marlo Dyck (friend and former co-worker) on: Jan 07, 2014

• Deepest condolences to Rodney, Nickolas and Jessica in the passing of your wife and Mom. It's been many years since I last saw Linda, but she's someone you never forget. Her love of life and family was infectious. There are many fond memories of the days when we worked at the Branch Office of Investors on Broadway. - Posted by: Marie Deroche (Former co-worker) on: Dec 16, 2013

• To Linda's family...we are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy to all of you during this very difficult time. As a parent of a Munroe student, Linda and I chatted from time to time over the years. My son really liked her and when I told him of her passing, he was deeply saddened and said, "Mom, we talked all the time. She was so nice it was ridiculous. That's so sad." Linda...you will be missed by those who knew you. :( - Posted by: Corinna Link (Parent in Community) on: Dec 16, 2013

• Linda was a wonderful colleague to work with. Her caring attitude touched many who worked with her. My sincere condolences to Rodney, Nicholas and Jessica. - Posted by: Philippe Morin-Fournier (Former Colleague) on: Dec 14, 2013

• I love this picture of Linda - the big smile - the exuberance. There was nothing tiny about Linda! She lived life in a big way. And oh how much she loved you Rodney, and Jess and Nick. That was so evident! As a couple we enjoyed the last time we got together for coffee. You will miss her, we will all miss her. As we are now running the retreat house, I think of Linda a lot. The reason is because one time over lunch, when I was talking to her about how we may decorate the rooms, she told me how she loves just plain white. Later, she wrote on my blog that she noticed how I liked taking pictures and had seen some beautiful pictures of white flowers, and perhaps I should do a room that was white on white. Well - years later when we were decorating according to seasons, we decided to do the WINTER room all white on white. I could not help but remember the conversation Linda and I had, and so now, as I show people around, and they comment on Winter's beauty .... I think of my friend Linda. You all will be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers as you begin to walk through this journey of grief without her. May God bless you with his peace and his comfort. We love you Rodney, Jessica and Nick. - Posted by: Joy and Alvin Klassen (friend) on: Dec 14, 2013

• Deepest condolences to Rodney, Nickolas and Jessica in the passing of your wife and mom. As former neighbours, we enjoyed our times of chatting on the sidewalk, or the annual Christmas get-togethers with neighbouring families. What a joy it has been to know you all, and look forward to many more years of get-togethers. We mourn with you, but also rejoice that Linda is in the arms of Jesus. Be comforted by His Grace and His Mercy today and especially in the days to come. - Posted by: Gerard and Roberta Scott-Herridge (former neighbour) on: Dec 14, 2013

• Rodney, Nickolas, Jessica. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your wife and Mom. Linda was one of the most kind, wise, no-nonsense - yet always guided by compassion - beautiful women I had the good luck to call colleague and the even better fortune to call friend. Linda always made time to talk and laugh and I will miss her unique perspective on life and her exceptionally spot on brand of wit. You know you were her greatest pride and joy and as such she often spoke of you all. I know she was a woman of strong faith - I hope this faith helps you through this time of separation and sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Kim Dudek (Friend & Colleague) on: Dec 13, 2013

• Our hearts grieve with you and your family. We weep with you through this time of huge loss where words are but as sounding brass. Psalm 62:5 "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him." - Posted by: Tom/Kathy Robinson (Work acquaintance) on: Dec 13, 2013

• To Linda's family. When I heard the news of Linda's passing, I was overcome with grief. She was really one of the kindest and loving people I have known. She always had a smile on her face and never let negativity surround her. She was an inspiration to me and life on earth will not be the same without her. Heaven is getting a real angel! - Posted by: KATHY PENNER (FRIEND/CO-WORKER) on: Dec 13, 2013

• Linda was an amazing employee at John Pritchard. My daughter had anxiety issues and Linda always helped her in a caring, loving way and was a HUGE asset to the school. God bless her family as they grieve her loss. - Posted by: L. Fast (My daughter attended school where she worked) on: Dec 13, 2013

• This news made me very sad. I will always remember Ms. Badgley as a nice and sweet lady who got to know my brother from many visits to the office at John Pritchard. I also got to meet her family once at MTS, my prayers are with you, and may God's peace comfort you in this sad time. - Posted by: Elizabeth Carty (Former student at John Pritchard ) on: Dec 13, 2013

• We have lost a beautiful being whose actions demonstrated daily the power of the human spirit. Her grace, kindness and enthusiasm impacted everyone she came in contact with, personally or through the phone. Linda had a way of making everyone around her, especially young people, feel like they mattered and that they were very special. She truly believed that actions were worth a thousand words and that each indiviual had the power to positively change the world but it had to begin with the self and then, in our interactions with each other. Linda demonstrated this belief in all of her interactions. I offer my deepest sympathies to her wonderful family but know, as they do, that Linda has left many prints on the souls of those she has touched. She may have physically left this world but her memory shall live on through these prints forever. - Posted by: Anita Maharaj Kumar (Friend and Colleague) on: Dec 13, 2013

• Rodney, Nick and Jessica - Our deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers are with you as we all celebrate Linda's life. May peace be overwhelmingly with you. - Posted by: char & Ken Epp (friends from McIvor) on: Dec 13, 2013

• Linda was a passionate, kind, caring and fun loving lady who cared deeply for her own kids, and for everyone else's as well. The students in the school were under 'her care'. She wore her faith and her passion for people on her sleeve. She deeply touched many and made a huge difference in our world. And I do see her dancing in delight and worship in heaven, finally able to breathe deeply and with endless energy. Much love to Rodney and her two extremely loved children, Jessie and Nick. - Posted by: Elaine Chabbert (Co-worker) on: Dec 12, 2013

• I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. She was a woman of great faith and courage, never more so than in the face of adversity. We met and spent time together in play groups when our children were young and we were stay-at-home moms. Those were great and carefree times and I will always remember Linda's quick and big laugh heard frequently on those mornings. My sincere sympathies to Rodney, Nick and Jessica, she loved you all so much. - Posted by: Lorraine Wilks (neighbourhood friend) on: Dec 12, 2013
