Linda was a great and generous woman. For a time growing up, she was like a second mom to me as I was at the Tallin residence as much as my own home, as well as the numerous times spent in Minaki at the cottage. The memories I hold of Linda will always be special in my heart. Linda will be missed but her memories will last forever. Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Joel Gunter (friend of the family) on: Aug 16, 2017

We had so many good times while Linda and Rae lived in Blakeney, lots of laughs and great memories, in fact Rae and I were almost kicked out of breakfast places because of our laughs. Wonderful memories We are thinking of all of you! Hugs - Posted by: Carolyn and Wayne Finner (Friends) on: Jan 06, 2017

So sorry to hear that Linda has passed. She was indeed a great hostess and I was pleased to attend the always laugh filled times at her table with many family and friends. I also loved to join her for a drink at 55 Nassau when it was just the two of us and have a giggle. Rest in peace dear Linda. - Posted by: Graham Gork (Friend of the family) on: Dec 31, 2016
