Linda Allen Memorial Tribute

Linda was a much loved and widely known character on the Lisburn Rd Belfast.  She was a kind and generous friend, who always thought of others, especially children.  She loved to meet for a cup of tea and a good chat, she never arrived empty handed, wheither it was a box of Thompsons  tea, a tapenade, a small toy or a thoughtful card, even from hospital she organised presents for far away friends!
Linda lived for two things her son Louie and her work at Arcadia on the Lisburn Rd.  Linda was so passionate about local artisan food, she took time to get to know all the local artisans individually and really enjoyed helping them all to build their brands.
Sadly after a cancer diagnosis in November Linda passed away last week leaving her son Louie behind.
As a tribute to Linda and her great kindness we would like to show our love and support to Louie and give a little back.
Many of you will know the costs involved at this time.  With funerals being restricted to 10 people due to Covid 19,  we would like to raise money for a memorial to Linda when restrictions are lifted,  with any remaining funds going to her young son Louie.
