To Linda's family, I was sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Linda in the early 80's when I was a parole officer. I always appreciated her bubbling personality and enthusiasm. I just learned of her passing (April 2, 2006) so I apologize for this late guest book entry. It is my hope you take comfort in knowing you will meet again when all is said and done. May God comfort and bless you.

Linda--
You were larger than life to me with all of your lifetime over-achievements...a hard act to follow for the "invisible" Butler family member. I love you and will forever cherish the memories and final moments we spent together while I was off work this past summer, and I was honored to be with you as you left this life on earth and you entered your journey to eternity. I know in my heart that you are in a better place, but you will be missed by all of us who love you. Until we...
