Linda Catherine Rose Stanley, died March 9, 2009 at home.
I have taken my leave of this world and I go with no regret as I have been a most fortunate person. I would have liked to have stayed longer but it was not to be.
I have been blessed by a wonderful loving and kind husband, Bruce you were my best friend, my rock, my hero, the love of my life, my soul mate, and my favourite tree hugger.
My beloved sons, Michael and Jared, so different but both my pride and joy. I hope you both never lose sight of your dreams but also always take time to enjoy the simple beautiful things like the first snowfall (we had a lot of fun coasting!!), beautiful starry nights (remember all the bonfires), hearing the first spring peepers, the first spring flowers (thanks for all the help), the beauty of the leaves in fall. Remember to treat all the creatures with respect and kindness for this is their world too.
Bruce, Michael, and Jared you were my universe.
To Mum, it was from you I got my strength for you were always strong and always there when I needed you.
Karen, always the big sister and always my friend whether I needed to be straightened out or needed a shoulder to cry on.
David, a lot of water flowed down the river but because we were family we overcame these things.
Ronnie, you were always more than my step Dad…you were my Dad for many years. Thanks for treating me just like I was one of your kids.
My cherished pets, Isis and Marble, always happy to see me. Thanks for all the times I soaked your coats with my tears, and you never seemed to mind.
To all the people who offered to help in so many ways I could never thank you enough.
Special thanks to Kim, Sharon, Donna, Heather, Tom, Vivian, Dennis, Samantha, and Lawrence.
Thanks to the Pictou County Kennel Club for all your support.
Thanks to Kay, Mary, and Steve for all the laughs we had at Fred and Marie’s. Special thanks to Fred and Marie for your all your kindness and help to me and Isis.
To the directors and staff of Fraser & Hoyt Insurance you are the best. Your kindness and support went way beyond anything anyone could ever imagine. Extra special thanks to George Fraser and Tony Pelton for their incredible support.
Special thanks to Delores, Kathy, Leana, Isabelle, and John, you made me laugh on days when I didn’t think I had a laugh left in me, and always had a shoulder for me to cry on when I needed that too.
Thanks to the staff of Johnson Insurance, New Glasgow and Antigonish for your words of comfort and support. Extra special thanks to Janet Fraser for all the encouragement.
Thanks to all my in-laws for being my “other” family and being there anytime I needed you.
Special thanks to Dr. Aaron Smith, Dr. John George Forbes, Dr. Imran Hack, Dr. Dorianne Rheaume, Dr. Moresky, the Oncology Department of the Aberdeen Hospital and the QEII for your excellent care and compassion.
Life, love, and laugh!!! Do not mourn my passing…celebrate my life for it has been good.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of McLaren Funeral Service, Pictou. There will be no visitation or funeral service. If you want to make a donation in my memory you can do so to the Oncology Department of the Aberdeen Hospital, Pictou County Palliative Care, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Pictou County SPCA, or charity of your choice.
