Linda's Champagne Glasses by Barbara

Margaret was the original champagne glass painter, but Linda took over that family "job" and really made it her own. She called me one day, and told me that a package had been delivered to me, that I should get it and call her back. She had gifted me with six of her handpainted glasses. I was overwhelmed and so very delighted...not everyone got a set of Linda originals! Several years later I invited myself over to Deepwater Trail so that Linda could teach me glass painting, her way. You can only imagine how much fun we had because we didn't take any photos. Linda was wonderfully artistic and creative, and it was a joy to work with her, as well as enjoy her creations.

West Coast Family Connection by Rob and Naomi Taylor

It was not until Skip connected with his Aunt Ruth, 20 years ago, that we connected with Skip and Linda. What a delight to get to know them. We were fortunate to visit the Tiki house twice. They were hosts extraordinaire. We were wowed by Linda’s beautiful flower petal art laid upon the bed, just one of the many special touches that made us feel so welcome. Linda and Skip came to the West Coast several times for reunions with the Taylor/Mundy family. These are pictures from our August 2019 reunion on Hornby Island. We had a raucous, fun get together, how could it be otherwise with Skip and Linda and the Taylor/Mundys? After the gang left, we were looking forward to a couple of quiet days with just the two of them. Alas, it was to be only one day. A storm was brewing! They made a hasty retreat. Literally minutes notice to get off island by water taxi in order to not miss their flight home. Here they are waving goodbye! We have very fond memories of Linda, a remarkable woman.

Linda's birthday was 28 February. It was a sad day. Diane and Alan remembered that for Linda's birthday in 2020, they (Diane, Alan, Linda and Skip) drank champagne overlooking the Nile. Mary created a very special sculpture in Linda's memory. It is called "The Missing Piece". Skip is going to plant it in Linda's garden, overlooking Church Creek.
