I loved Ms. Linda so much. I had known her since I was a little girl since she drove the school bus for Avalon and so did my mother, Bonie. Ms. Linda was a super nice person. In the past few years, I had enjoyed stopping by her house to speak to her and play with little Rosie. I will surely miss Ms. Linda. My thoughts and prayers go out for her family
