Success a lovely lady.
Will be dearly missed.
I have such fond memories of my visits with Auntie Linn.
Roy and I would visit every time we traveled to Australia.
It was a highlight of my trip to sit on her front patio and look out over her pride and joy “her garden”, talk for hours while sipping wine.
Many people don’t realize their simple gestures make an impact.
Thank you Auntie Lin.
Now you can create another gorgeous garden while enjoying your dearly missed family and friends.

Sadly we farewell our beloved Auntie Lin after a long and interesting life.
I will forever have fond memories of spending time with her on our visits to Castlemaine.
Later, there was always a cup of tea and something home baked when we called in on our travels to or from Bendigo.
I always looked forward to our regular phone chats as we shared our news.
Lin was always very interested in all the family and loved to get updates on the achievements of our children and grandchildren.
Lovingly remembered by Lisbeth, Andrew, Christopher, Laura and Jonathan.
Ross and family, pleases accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Lin.
She was a wonderful lady who enriched my family with her engaging stories, great sense of humor and amazing memory for fine details.
We always looked forward to her animated chats and welcoming cuppa.
Time spent with Lin was always a joy, whether it was an ramble around her garden or just sitting and chatting and hearing about what she was up to at the nursing home.
She knew everyone and was obviously loved by all the staff as they would always stop by to say ‘hello’. She never missed asking about a family member and readily recalled details of their lives – young and old. What an inspirational lady.

Colin and I were close friends of Don and Linnie for 46 years.
We loved them both dearly.
Linnie was a beautiful, kind, warm lady and the world we not be the same place without her, we are very sad at her passing.
– Laurel and Colin
What a special lady!
Strong, intelligent, caring, warm and loving.
Always in the moment with you, interested and interesting, engaged and engaging.
And WHAT a memory! Oh, if only we could have bottled that.
Every conversation with her I wanted to record, so I could re-wind and listen to it over and over again.
It was rich with humour, detail, candour, colour, she painted pictures with words, in her unique, glorious way, recounting extraordinary detail.
Many will miss that.
She is an icon in our Lindsey family and leaves an indelible mark.
A remarkable, wonderful, beautiful lady.
– Robyn Lindsey
Lin was a loyal, lovely client for many years.
It was always a pleasure to cut her hair during which we enjoyed many interesting talks .

A life well lived.
Sympathy to the family .

What a lovely warm and fun person!
We enjoyed her visits to the UK especially to the Highlands of Scotland which she loved so much and we have wonderful memories of our visit to Castlemaine.
She certainly lived a rich life & will be much missed.
