I´m so sorry to hear of Linda´s passing. I worked with Linda at the 57th. District Court. She was absolutely amazing. She taught me so much, her knowledge of the court system was incredible. Besides being our administrator she was my friend and I will always treasure her memory. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Karen Barnes

I'm am in total shock. Linda was a good friend and I talked to her last summer about coming to a lunch with old colleagues. She was a wonderful soul and I will miss her.
