Happy memories of Linda and the fun and enjoyment we all had at her exercise class every Friday morning at Fareham Leisure Centre. She was a legend and is sadly missed.

We used to have a few spats while serving on the Woodcot Residents Association Committee Linda but you were a tireless worker for said Association. Also enjoyed taking you and Mike to the Airport when you used to fly to Boston. R I P Linda. Julie and Ian

No surprises with our sister Linda you got what you saw and no messing or surprises attached! What an incredible energy and joy for life, As she was my tutor and second mother at home when we were young, her enthusiasm and motivation to get things done rubbed of on me, that's one gift in life I will always keep with me thanks to Linda. I consider myself to be so fortunate to be of the same blood, our last words together were to affirm the love that we shared for each other and having the blessing to be in a modest family who solidarity overflowed with compassion for the needs of others. Linda use to take me to Sunday school up until I was the age of 13, so I know this psalm would please her to share it with all of you: The lord is my shepherd i shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along all the right paths, for his name sake. Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil, for you are with me , your rod and your staff they comforts me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup over flows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever.

Gone yet not forgotten although we are apart your spirit lives within me forever in my heart I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday and days before that too I think of you in silence i often speak your name All I have are memories and your picture in a frame Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part God has you in his keeping i have you in my heart No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why Thank you for the most beautiful wonderful twenty one years Mike

My life will not be the same without Linda, I willl miss her forever. Chhris.

What a beautiful service for a beautiful lady. Linda had an inner strength that always amazed me, she always had a smile even through the pain. I have been very lucky to be part of the Griffin household from a very young age there was always a sense of fun there. Her cakes were amazing, especially my favourite coffee and walnut. She will be missed by many. Have fun up there Linda xx

Beautiful service for a beautiful lady. It made me smile when I heard she loved monkeys and had named her monkey Thelma, made me think of my mom. Although distance separates us, we are with you today. Alan and Yvonne
