One thing Linda really enjoyed was fishing. On a warm summer day a few years ago Brian asked Linda if she would like to go to the brook. Of course she agreed but she had to change her footwear. She had been wearing new shoes that day to get them broken in. She went to get ready and collect her fishing gear. After a short time of fishing, Brian walked up to where she was standing and realized linda was in about 2 feet of water. He asked her about the shoes she had on. She had been so eager to go fishing she hadn't noticed. She looked down and saw her new shoes, very much broken in and very wet. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, (506-433-1176), where visitation will be held on Sunday 2-4, 7-9pm.
