As a close friend of Jamie, I met Linda (and Bruce) several times. It's clear she was a lovely person and powerful force in binding together a close family. It's terribly sad to see a wife, mother and grandmother taken from those remaining in this way. I know she has left a huge void in their lives and hope to support them in any way I can. Sending love and courage.

Linda, we are so sad and can`t quite believe that you are not here with us now. I have fond memories of you and your family over the years from when I was a teenager. That`s when we met you, because you and Mum, Mary, became friends when you worked together on night shifts for many years at The Wilbraham Nursing Home. Mum always said how Linda was totally reliable and trustworthy, always an advocate for the patients. You got on really well together, having many laughs and funny incidents over the years. You became great friends, sometimes going out with Bruce and Mike, for example on a day trip to Padstow. Mum and Dad both enjoyed you and Bruce`s company so much. You and Mum went out together shopping sometimes, or to the Garden Centre, Jack`s Patch, or out for breakfast, or coffee. You both love Teignmouth and walking along the sea front. When Dad, Mike, became ill and passed away, Linda, you were a stalwart friend and helped in practical ways, always thoughtful and kind. Thank you so much, Linda, for being such an amazing friend to Mum, Mary. She will miss you so very much. Mary says that, although she has had many friends over her life, she has never had a friend more caring or intelligent than her Dear Linda.

Cannot believe you are no longer in our lives Linda and I cannot speak to you, but you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. We have known you since 1972 when you and Bruce came to Downham Market and have so many happy memories of those times spent together and working with you Linda at Keymarkets. Then spending lovely times with our baby boys. Although distance separated us over later years whenever we met up it was just like old times. You were such a lovely, warm lady and it's a privilege to have had you for a friend.
