We would also like to thank the Golden Manor on East 1 and all the doctors and staff for taking care of Linda’s needs with excellent care and compassion. Finally, a big thank you to Dr. Vaithilingam for all his help and care over the years.
Respecting her wishes, cremation will take place. Funeral arrangements are entrusted with Lessard-Stephens Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be held in the spring at which time it will be posted.
In lieu of flowers, remembrance donations to the Timmins Food Bank or the Women’s shelter would be greatly appreciated.
