John & Glenda Sellar
Linda has gone now but her smile remained throughout the terrible ordeal she and her family endured. We have known Linda for many years and enjoyed her calm intelligence and fascinating memory of events long ago. We are not sure why these things happen; perhaps we will never know but we will miss her. We can take some comfort that she is now in a safer and pain free place. Our condolences to Tim, Kelly and Casey and to Linda’s extended family. Bless you Linda.
Rocks : Linda had one of the greenest thumbs on the planet. Plants that were wilted and falling over sprang to life when she touched them. Myself being the exact opposite, this was an inexplicable talent and I was seriously envious. Her love of plants and all things gardenwise, not only kept her busy but of course meant that Tim had many “projects” that came his way. Rock gardens was was one of them. When river washed rocks became available (free of charge) in Lakewood, Tim must have mentioned this to Linda and so the “rock transfer “ project was born. So many smooth and various sized rocks were loaded into the back of Tim’s truck, that the front wheels basically had little contact with the road so that steering became quite a challenge. How he managed the 15 mile or so drive back to his house remains a bit of a mystery, but make it he did.
By himself, he unloaded the rocks alongside his driveway, and then wheel barrowed them to locations around the back garden (under supervision !) where they remain to this day - a reminder to all of the skillful application of landscaping skills that belonged to Linda
