    Lindy Lou, Linda Jane, Nana, What an awesome lady you were, you are going to leave a massive hole in the lives of many and to leave such a hole you have to be loved by many and that you were.
    Working with you at the Railway was a hoot and a pleasure. Rest easy Linda Jane in the arms of more who love you.

      Very saddened to hear this news. My love, thoughts and deepest condolences to all who love Linda. I recall many a great game of pool during the local pool comps. Her love of family and friends always shone through as did her beautiful laugh and smile. May she rest in peace.
