Dear Aunt Margret and Uncle Jr.,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and the entire Bussey family. I have such fond memories, of playing at your house with Steve, Terry and Melinda when we were children. You all were always so kind to Tee and I. I have kept up with everyone through Betty, and think of everyone often. My heart just breaks for you all and you are in my prayers at this time of sorrow. May God comfort you.
With all my love, Marcia (Woodford Hughes) David and Brad.

My father, Robert (Oaty) Sledd, was friends with Forrest and Claude Bussey back in the 60's and 70's. My dad still talks to Claude from time to time. He wanted me to tell you how sorry he is for your loss. (he does not have access to a computer)
Our prayers are with the Bussey families.

To all of the Bussey family,
I am sorry to hear about Steve's passing. He was a very special person and loved his racing. I will never forget when I was about 3-5 years old when Mama Jean kept me that one day he came over and I went with him to the barn and he showed me the little baby calves and I loved that so much and I told him later on at the race track some years ago that I remember him doing that for me when I was little and he got a kick out of that, that I remembered him doing that and just laughed. He was a very much loved by many and was always there to help anyone in racing or anyone in general for that matter (but I think that is just the Bussey way to be there for anyone). He is in a much better place now and is watching over you and is with God and he is in no pain. If any of you need anything, just let me know. God Bless all of you!!!
