However Linda was unaware a statement would be issued on Tuesday and had posted pics of her Caribbean cruise hours earlier.
A source said the three BBC sitcom stars had a “pretty acrimonious falling out in 2020”.
They went on: “Slowly they started speaking again, and then went out for one or two lovely long lunches.
“Pauline opened up to them both after her heartbreaking diagnosis, and it was very emotional.
“They both adore her and have been rocks.
“Obviously Linda wouldn’t have posted from holiday had she known a statement was incoming — she was mortified at the timing.”
Pauline’s hubby Steve Sheen revealed the actress had been diagnosed with dementia in 2021.
Linda, 66, and Lesley, 79, filmed the 2020 Birds of a Feather Christmas special without Pauline, 65.
Lesley’s spokesman said: “She has been aware of Pauline’s diagnosis for a while and holds her and her family in her thoughts.”
