Linda was an angel during my time at the University. She cared about the people and was always available if someone needed her. Her absence will be felt for many years and her place will never be filled. I miss you and look forward to reuniting in heaven one day.
Linda and all Boyd kids are close friends to me. Thinking of you all. Remember our good times! ( Chocolate gravy)

I am so very sorry to hear about Linda. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Linda was certainly a special person. God bless each of you during this difficult time.
I worked and met Linda at U of A . I had forgotten what a beautiful smile she had until I saw this obit picture but was so sad and shocked. I retired a few years ago and had no idea that she was sick. We always visited when we saw each other but I guess the subject never came up where we were born. I was born just few miles out of Wesley. Loy I know you and the boys will miss her terribly and she will be missed by her coworkers. I am so sorry.
