Our family was blessed to have Linda teach not one, but two of our children who blossomed with her care and talent for teaching. I had many conversations about life, love and family with Linda whose wisdom and grace was much appreciated. Linda was a woman who loved well and was loved much in return. Our deepest sympathies to her family.

“Dear Heather,

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am that Linda had to go so early. I have no idea how she made the trip home, but selfishly, I am so grateful she did. As sad as it made me to see Linda in that condition, you will never know how glad I was to see her & get to say goodbye (which was extremely hard). She reminded me so much of Mum & I take some comfort in knowing that they are now together. I wish it would have been possible for me to be out there with you at this difficult time, but please know that I am thinking about you. If there is anything you need, please let me know.

Love you,

Paula xo

My sons and I were very saddened to read the news of Linda’s death. Blake and David remember Mrs. Haun as their kind and gentle guide in her Grade 2 class at Cedarbrae School. When she was widowed, we talked about her grief but also her courage to go on because of her son and daughter. It was a very tough teaching year for her. I remember meeting up with her at Teachers Conventions or at the grocery store where she would regale me with her travels to distant lands and the joy of becoming a grandmother. She is gone too soon. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Heather and family,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you at this sad time. Linda and I taught together at Cedarbrae and she was a wonderful, fun person to work with-such a positive woman.

Linda was a very special friend who shared an extremely meaningful evening with me a few years ago…and many special moments since then. Her wit, empathy, intelligence, warmth, and lovely smile will be dearly missed. To her family and friends, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Heather, Jeremiah, Nick and Ollie

Please accept our sincerest condolence on Linda’s passing. Linda was and old friend of Deanie and me. While we have not seen Linda since your wedding she has always been in our thoughts. We send our love. Last night when all of our family was here we reminisced of old times and good times. Your Mom was Lesley first play school teacher.

Best to all

Heather and family, words cannot express my deepest sympathy in the passing of your mother. I was soo happy to have had a wonderful visit with her while she was here in NB visiting her sister Faye and brother Floyd. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the coming week. I have just lost a great friend and classmate…

Shirley & Floyd, so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. Mother mentioned her when we were home recently so I did know that she hadn’t been well.

regards, Alma

I’m sorry I can’t make it out Heather but know I wish I could, and that you, Jer and the boys are in my thoughts. I love you and miss you very much. Pxo

Michael, Logan, Caden & I were so sorry to hear your Mum passed, Heather. I am very glad Paula and I visited when she was home. I don’t know how she had the strength to do it. Those Hamilton girls are STRONG! I wish we were closer, but, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can just imagine Linda & Mum chatting up a blue streak!! We are happy Fay and Andy will be with you on Wednesday.

Love to you, Jer and the boys <3
