My own mom still laughs about the time I asked her if I could have two mommies and change my last name to Busbee. Linda is the sweetest woman I have ever known… and always welcomed me with open arms. I thank her for loving me back.

Jamie, Angie and James, I'm so sorry for your loss. Linda was such a great person and a great friend to me the years we worked together at the clerk's office. I loved working with her. I know from experience that the pain of losing someone you love may seem unbearable but it does get better with time. Although the ache of missing them never goes away. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
