My Darling Linda – You were always the sunshine in our family. You were always there for us – even during the difficult times while fighting cancer. You were always happy, positive and so very supportive – you just wanted life to be good and full of fun times. You taught us all, so much about life and your love for me and our 3 lovely children shone over us everyday. You were so beautiful in every way – with a wicked smile to match.

Dearest Linda
I honestly don’t know where to start… You took me under your wing over 15 years ago when I started working with you at Beaconsfield Pharmacy. You treated me like one of your own, and always had so much love, generosity and care towards myself and others. I have never forgotten the special bond we had. You truly believed in me, and that meant the world… I was a scared & timid teenager starting out in the big wide world, yet you made it so much easier for me. You’ve always had a special part in my heart, and you always will.
You have been taken away far too soon, you had so much zest for life. Your spirit will be with me forever, you will never be forgotten. I wish I had the chance to say goodbye, and give you one last cuddle. I will miss your beautiful nature always.
Thank you for being apart of my life. A true privilege to have known you, and to be loved by you. You were one hell of a woman!
All my love forever,
Lauren (Lozz) xoxoxo

Dear Linda
You were a fighter, right till the end. Your compassion and caring nature for your family and friends was amazing.
Even in your darkest times, you always put others first.
I will always remember dancing with you and sharing a drink
Until we meet again, sweetheart

I knew Linda when we were only young. I watched her struggles over the years and last year we reminisced about times gone by. I also have fought a similar journey and I was amazed at her strength. I was envious of how many peoples lives she brightened and how she alway seemed to smile. Though I am just an childhood friend, I am extremely saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts are with those whom loved her, may you meet again someday.

Ahhh Linda, my best friend for such a long time. I’d hoped you would always be with us.
You were the nicest person I’d ever known – generous with your time and spirit, and genuinely friendly with everyone. You always saw the good side of people and life.
I will always treasure spending last Christmas day with you and your family. It was great fun and very relaxing. And it got me out of going to the back of Bourke to see my in-laws!!!
You tried to get me onto face book and when we realised even you couldn’t do that, we laughingly decided we would spend time with each other instead!!!
I will always miss you dearly. All my love to Gerry Chris Renee and Rachael. XXXXX
Sandra Collins
To my beautiful Sister Linda,
I love you with all my heart. I cannot bear to think of life without you in it. You have been there for me for 62 years through good and bad times and you always looked on the bright side of things. You are such a loving, caring, thoughtful, kind, placid, courageous beautiful person. You always brought the best out in me and everyone you knew.
The last few years have been very hard but we shared the hard times together and we became even closer, if that is at all possible.
Your family are testament to the person you are and you live on through them. They are at my side helping me come to terms with my devastating loss even though they are going through the same emotions.
I will miss you more than words can say. My heart is broken and it has been broken for a long time seeing you go through your fight. You always had a smile and was so bubbly and positive. You are a truly inspirational person of whom I am so honored to have as my sister, my friend and my soulmate.
I know you are now with Dad, Mum and Sue and one day I will be with you all again.
You will always be with me in my heart, thoughts and memories. I Love you so much and will miss you every single moment of every day.
Sue and Steve Clark
For one of natures beautiful people, Linda.
It has been over 20 years now since we met through Sandi and since that time you have been a part of my life, bringing sunshine and smiles wherever you went. Your love and caring for your beautiful sister Sandi was a joy to share and you encouraged everyone you met to embrace life, to be the best we could be through your enthusiasm. Bad times were to be got through with smiles and a hug. Life wasn’t the easiest for you and Gerry but you held each other close and faced it together. Then one day came the news which has taken you from us. Yet again, even with such a daunting outlook, you chose to embrace life as much as you could. You led by example. You were so loving and positive and always have time for your loved ones. You did this until finally it all became too much for you and after 7 years you traded your beanie for a halo and grew your wings. With your talent for art i am sure youhave the prettiest wings in heaven/ Go in peace Linda, you have inspired many people here on earth who will look aftr your family until you are reunited with them. Thank you for the inspiration you have given us all. Our love and deepest sympathy to Gerry, Chris, Renee, Rachael and Sandi. xxxxx

Dearest Linda
I didn’t know you for as long as many others but in the time I did, I could not be more inspired by you and have nothing but admiration for the way you handled such a despicable disease. You soldered on with a smile despite the toll the treatment was taking on you. That was an extremely selfless thing to do. I know your gorgeous family, friends and colleagues appreciated it very much.
We had the pleasure of spending a night in the city last year with your sidekick Tracey, and it is one I will never forget. We even snuck an extra birthday in at the restaurant with a white lie. Your face when they brought the cake and sang happy birthday will forever make me smile.
You may not be in our everyday lives any more but you will always be in our heart. Never to be forgotten. Deepest condolences to Gerry, Chris, Renee, Rachael and Sandi and not forgetting your pal Tracey Webber xxx

I met Linda at Chris Warne Pharmacy where we worked together on Friday nights for years. It was the highlight of my week to chat to someone so positive , open and honest. I then became he employer and she was a dream to work with always there to help , always calm ,funny and helping me navigate the world of being an owner without losing my mind.
Her battles over the last 8 years only confirmed what a strong , positive fighter she was . She will be missed by all who knew her

Linda we met through our beautiful friend Tracey. I remember the first time I met you at her house and thinking what an awesome person you were and by the end of the night felt we were friends too. John and I always enjoyed times spent with you and Gerry especially our cruise holiday. You always had time for everyone including my Mum and my kids whenever you saw them. I will cherish my painting and will think of you whenever I look at it. My heart goes out to Gerry and the kids. You will live on through them I’m sure. Rest In Peace beautiful lady ❤️
