Linda and I met as teachers at Nether Providence Elementary. She was my support when I was assigned two blind students in my 5th grade classes. Her unflappable calm and professional approach made those the two best years I spent as a teacher.
Our friendship continued after I left teaching, though time and circumstances made our times together infrequent. Still, she was a blessing in my life, one I wish now I hadseen more often in recent years.
Her loss came as a shock, and since I was in Nova Scotia, I am only learning of it now. I so wish I could have been at the service to honor a wonderful woman who touched many lives with her courage, intelligence, optimism, and caring. Linda, the world will miss you but Heaven has a fabulous new angel.
