Linda Smith passed away suddenly in her home on the August 25th weekend, 2007.

Sister, aunt, friend, mentor, writer, advocate of literacy & social issues -- Linda was all these things and more. She leaves us a legacy of hope, of striving to make her corner of the world a better place, and of optimism for the future. And of course, she leaves us her stories.

To read one of her (unpublished) poems and a short tribute, go to Blue Skies .

Linda's sister, Barb Brydges, would be delighted to hear from anyone who has questions or comments about Linda's writing or her books.  Also, the family will donate copies of Linda's picture book, Sir Cassie to the Rescue,  to any library or school or daycare that could make use of it.  Contact Barb at this email.
