In Memory Of Linda Gervaise (Lin) Poulin

It is almost nine months since you left our world. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. With my recent accident and hospital stay, I felt some of the same feeling you must have endured. I could not begin to understand what it was like when you lost the use of you legs and had to use a wheelchair; you were so independent. March 8 was the day I suddenly knew. I lost the use of my leg and now in a chair. What it must have felt like for you to know that you would not wal...» read more

You’re gone, I just found out. I don't know where to start. This whole week I've looked at the calendar and told myself that I had to catch up with you. Your birthday was here and I hadn't talked to you in so long. I'll have to tell my kids of your passing and I know that they both will be so sad. They always ask about you, as all my friends do. Everyone always remembered your smile and warmth. I still have those chimes you gave me almost 20 years ago and now when I hear them I’ll think of y...» read more

Lin and I shared a very special summer. I was living in Round Rock and I would go to Aunt Lin and Aunt Roni's house everyday just to sit outside and talk and share a smoke with Lin. We could talk for hours about everything and nothing all at the same time. She "is" wounderful. I LOVE YOU LIN AND MISS YOUY EACH AND EVERY DAY. I AM MORE BLESSED FOR YOU LETTING ME INTO YOUR WOUNDERFUL WORLD.

Thank you for inviting me to be part of a very special trip that is not only imprinted in photos but in my mind and heart.

My month of daily visit to your home only gave me a hint of the love and happiness that lingered there, a touch of your accomplishments and your undying strength. As I watched, I only learned a little of what you had accomplished in your life and I listened to what else you wanted to do. As I watched Alex come totally apart in the memory gardens, I realized h0w many lives you touched deeply and changed, mine included. I can only hope I did the same for yours. In all the time I have been doing t...» read more

Lin was a wonderful neighbor and friend. She was also an excellent example of strength in the face of personal disaster--no pity party--she had to get busy and mow the lawn! She will be missed but more importantly, her part of the Lin and Roni love affair will be missed so much by Roni. My heart hurts so much for you Roni...Jean W-C

Very sorry to hear about the passing on of Lin. This must be very difficult for Roni and both families, as Roni's thoughts during Lin's last moments reveal. May Lin's soul rest in peace with the Almighty. Our prayers are with Roni and both families who will need support of friends, along with the healing power of time, to bear this loss.

We shared the love of music especially the 70's music. Ray and i will miss her so much, what can you say about someone that had such a giving heart and always made us feel at home. I found this in a book and it made think of Lin, I have such a glorious lesson to teach you.Just as a seed planted in the autumn is thought to be "dead" throughout the cold winter until the coming of spring and the bursting forth of new life , so it is sometimes with the hidden work i do.In My good time your answers w...» read more
