Went out West to British Columbia and ran one of the biggest Car Dealerships in Vancouver for several years. Married, 1 daughter, husband died many years ago but she was very private about that part of her life..."

Linda also managed Mac's American Bar and then opened her own Bar Central, Escazú for approx. 9 years ran it since then. Was associated or helped the American Legion for many years and was also a member of the Canadian Club.

Diagnosed with Breast Cancer approx 1 1/2 years ago, she received chemo and all the usual treatment.

Linda is survived by Mother and Sister - Brenda, in Vancouver.

Frank Day, another friend of Linda writes, "By now we all have all gotten over the initial shock of Linda’s passing, but there will be no real closure for a long time.

Linda touched all of us in her own special way. I believe that Linda would also feel that it would be proper and fitting for us to have a send off for her.

On Tuesday, January 18 at 3:00pm, I would like to have celebration of Linda’s life. She might prefer to call it an ‘Irish Wake’ given her heritage."

Liz Howard posted the following quote on Costa Rica Living newsgroup that I believe describes Linda’s attitude.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!!!! What a ride!!!!!"
