Those that have been visiting the LSF for some time will remember the great contribution made to the site by Linda. Apart from being a popular author whose entertaining and heartfelt writings made an impact on LSF members and beyond, she was one of our most active validaters and was responsible for over 3,500 validations. In addition, she was always happy to assist authors who were looking for a bit of help with grammar, punctuation etc. All in all, she was a core member of the LSF.
Sadly, we heard from her earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with inoperable and incurable lung cancer. Today, we were contacted by her grand-daughter who has let us know that Linda died peacefully in her sleep yesterday evening while surrounded by her family.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this difficult time. |
