“I meet Linda and Anne riding the bus July 5, 2004. When Vanderbilt started the partnership with MTA. Anne and Linda taught me how to ride the bus from Rivergate to Vanderbilt. And the rest is history. We became very good friends and they both loved my leftover meals especially chicken and rice. As a matter of fact Linda and Anne are the reason I learned to cook it. They asked me if I knew how to make it and I did not so I learned how to make it just for them. I will forever be grateful for God for allowing our paths to cross on this side and I look forward to seeing her on the other side. God allowed Linda to have the both of two worlds. She was able to spend time with her family in Nashville and also to spend time with her family in Maryland before she decided to close her eyes and go to sleep. We will always miss Linda and hearing her voice on the bus saying…”Good morning everybody” as only Linda could say it. My thoughts and prayers are with her brother, Anne, Carol, Amy, and extended family and friends she loved us all in her very own special way. “

She never said a bad thing about anyone or anything. She greeted everyone on the bus everyday by name. Even as she was leaving Hendersonville to go for treatments in Maryland, she said that she would be back soon. She fought the good fight – and she now has victory in Jesus Christ. “

Until we meet again..love ya Linda!”
“Having Linda as a friend for over 20 years was a blessing. I know she was welcomed in Heaven by my Mom, Lee. Also if it wasn’t for Linda’s outgoing personality I probably would not of met Tyson. Linda will be truly missed. Love you Linda.”

“I met Linda on the bus years ago when I was still in school. She helped me learn to love the sometimes scary world of public transportation and she watched me grow up. She looked out for me and so many others. She is the reason why the 35x feels like a family. She has been such a blessing in my life. She was the most genuine person I know and was essentially my bus mother. My heart is breaking but I am so thankful that she did not have to suffer long. I know she must have had a wonderful reunion with Dusty and Sundance and all the others when she got to the gates of Heaven. This is not where it ends Linda. Love you always.”

“I love all of these great messages of love. Linda was there at the very beginning of THE GOLDENS. She worked the door at all our hometown shows greeting everyone and making them feel like they were a part of the family which she became such a huge part of. She went from working the door to babysitting the kids and in my case even helping me have my first yard sale. The memories are many. Her heart was as big as they get and she loved everybody. She is now sheltered in the arms of God. Love you hon’. “
“Words can’t even begin to express how sad I am to learn of our sweet friend’s passing. Although, I must rejoice in knowing she is no longer in pain and suffering… and has met Jesus face-to-face. I first met Linda in 2008 at a Chris Golden Family & Friends concert. You would have thought she had known me all of her life. I didn’t need to know anything else about Linda to quickly learn that she loved life, loved her fellow man and was a walking testimony to God’s amazing grace. Oh how I would have loved to have seen her just one more time. She is simply one of those people I will never forget… she was One In A Million. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and oodles of friends who knew and loved this sweet lady so dearly. “Linda, you WILL be missed. I will never forget your huge heart, your warm smile and your love for others. Until we meet again, love you sweet friend!!!””
“Linda, you will be missed by all that knew you. Thanks for being a good friend.”
“I met Linda almost two years ago when I started riding the MTA bus from Rivergate to Vanerbilt. Linda was super friendly from day one and soon learned my name. She greeted me every day and was sure to tell everyone as she was getting off the bus to have a great day. I don’t believe she ever met a stranger. Linda will surely be missed.”
“We met Linda on the bus, going to work for the state. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I loved that about her. I will miss her dearly. She was a good person to have as a friend to talk to and to encourage you on things you had problems with. We will miss a good friend.”
“I am sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. I briefly met Linda years ago at work and then again recently on the bus. It was a pleasure knowing her.”
“Linda was a member of my family, she was a “sister” and was special to me. To Linda I was her Baby Sister. I love you Linda. My sympathies to the Family.”
“Linda was a joyful lady. I met her while we worked at Vanderbilt and always felt blessed for having such a friend. She had never met a stranger and welcomed everyone she met into her happy, loving world. Although we are sad on earth, heaven is a happier place because of her.”
“I met Linda while working at Vanderbilt and we immediately became friends. I will never forget how much she enjoyed meeting my girls and the dolls she gave to them. She was truly a loving person and an inspiration to me. She will be missed by everyone whose lives she has touched.”
“I met Linda in the early ’80’s when we formed a local Oak Ridge Boys fan club. She was living in Suitland, Md. at that time. I was the designated driver. We went to all their concerts in Md., Va., WVa. and Pa. We had a great time. She never met a stranger. She was like a sister to me and my brother and his family. I loved to hear her laugh, which was often. In 1983, I drove her and two other fans to Nashville for Fan Fair. It was then that Linda decided she had to move to Hendersonville to be closer to her idols. Within a few years she packed up and left us. She will be greatly missed by all. She was a great person and friend. May her family and friends be comforted by the special memories she left with us all.”
“Linda was a beautiful loving soul. She was my sons baby sitter for several years. She was so good to children, they loved her playful spirit. I will never forget her laughter, her unending support of her friends & I’ll always smile when I hear her sweet name. I love you Linda Moore. “Go rest high on that mountain.””
“To the Lovely Miss Linda, You were ‘always’ so very kind, every time I saw you…And, whenever my daughter was little, you took a special shine to her, as well. It wasn’t uncommon for you look around, and say: “Where’s that, Little Princess…???”, even before giving me a “Hey…!!!” Now, that little girl is almost 29, and is deeply saddened to learn that she’ll never get to hug the ‘Sweets Lady’ with the secret treats – “Shhhh…Don’t tell your, Mama…!!!” (HAHAHA!!!) – again, or tell you how much she loves you. Sleep With Angels, Linda-Girl…!!! PS. She ‘always’ told her Mama…!!! (wink & smile) “
“Linda Moore was one of the first people I ever remember holding me as a baby that wasn’t my family. She started out a fan of my grandpa and family long before I was born but by the time I came along her and Anne Francs had already made their way into our family. I remember being with her at all the shows and even family get togethers. She shared so many stories with me growing up about all the adventures she had been on with Anne through the years and how much she loved my family. She was the kind of person that immediately brightened every room with her presence. Linda always looked on the bright side of things and ill always hold her close to my heart. I miss you more then you know but I know you’ll be looking down on us all and watching until we all meet again. Rest in peace, we love you. “
“I met Linda while working at Vanderbilt and her laugh could light up a room. She always had a smile and God knows she will be missed. To her family, I am sorry for your loss but I think she is today talking to God and making Him laugh.”
“I can see Linda’s beautiful smile as she listens to the “music of the angels”…just one of the many rewards we have been promised when we get to heaven. We will miss her but it will be a long time before I forget that smile!”
“I got to work with Linda at Vanderbilt and she was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. No matter the situation, she always had a smile on her face. She will be missed”

“What a great hearted person she was. very loving and caring for everybody she met. You are in a good place now. You will be missed=) with love”
“I am so sorry for the loss of such a sweet person, I have only fond memories of Linda, and how she always had a smile and a laugh, I am so greatful to have known her “
“I met Linda when she worked at Vanderbilt when I would comeover from the VA. She always had a smile on her face and a happy greeting for me. I will truly miss seeing that smile and hearing her laugh. She was a true sweetie pie!”
“I had a pleasure of working with Linda for several years at Vanderbilt. She was the one who would greet you with smile and make your day full of hapiness. She was such a nice friend who kept our friendship for so long after leaving Vanderbilt. I am glad I was able to visit her when she was in Vanderbilt Hospital on March 5 & 6th, 2013 few weeks before she left Nashville for good. When I asked her what she likes to eat, she kept silent for a minute then laughed loudly and said “Yasin, bring me some PAKLAVA I am not worried about my diabetes anymore”. It was very sad for me to hear that from her but I promised her to bring her our home made paklava and I am glad I fulfilled my promise to her. Now, I can say ” Linda, you will be missed by your friends. You can have whatever you like in haven”. I should not leave this page without thanking Anne Pate for updating me on Linda’s health and for being such a strong bond between me and Linda.”
“I first met Linda at an Oaks concert at Six Flags Over Mid-America, outside St. Louis, MO, somewhere in the early 80s I’d guess, right on front row, where the most devoted fans gather. Now I know she is in the front row in Heaven, where she deserves to be. God Bless.”
“I first met Linda at an Oaks concert at the Grand Palace years ago when I had some chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered grapes for the Boys, and I gave her a chocolate covered grape, then a petit four. She was “hooked” on them, but I was “hooked” on her friendly and genuine personality. She was always so upbeat, even when I called her right before she was moving to Maryland. We have all lost a wonderful person here on this earth, but how blessed Heaven is to receive her. My special condolences to Anne and Carol, her true sisters. “
“Had I known Linda better, I believe my life would have been more complete. In the few times I was blessed to be around her, she was kind, considerate and ALWAYS offered a warm smile. May she rest in peace with Jesus and receive many times over the joy she brought to the world. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to her family and close friends.”
“I first met Linda years ago when she worked at Vanderbilt. She always had a positive attitude about life and work.She will truly be missed by all!”
“Linda was a special friend to us all, we felt her pain I am so thankfull that her relatives were able to be with her and help her thru her pain. “
“I met Linda while working at Vanderbilt in the division of animal care and from the very beginning it was apparent that she was a special person. She was the kind of person that gave 110% to work and was always ready to lend a helping hand. She loved the animals and did everything she could to ensure their comfort. She was a gentle, kind, compassionate person who always put others before herself. She was a wonderful example to me and I will never forget her! May you rest in PEACE Linda, Kelley”

“Whether we like it or not, the reality is that we do preach our own funeral. This sermon will be made easier by the way Linda lived her life. We all will have joyous loving memories of her. She was loved but more important is that she loved us unconditionally and without judgement. She definitely “Made a difference.” “

“I too met Linda on the 35X Rivergate bus. She always had a smile for everyone and loved everyone she came in contact with. She will be missed by everyone who knew her and we will miss her contagious laugh. I was proud to call her friend and will miss her. It gives me much peace knowing she is resting in our SAVIOR’s arms.”
“Linda and my sister Sherry (Robertson) Resico were best friends. They went to school together, worked together, shared an apartment,enjoyed their love of music, missing very few concerts and created many wonderful memories together. Linda was part of our family and we have many memories of our time together that we will always cherish. She brought sunshine and laughter to those lucky enough to have her in their life. Our family will always hold you close and cherish the memories we made together.”

“I had the pleasure of knowing Linda while riding the city bus from Hendersonville to Nashville on our way to work. Linda always greeted me with a smile and was a most pleasant individual. Linda loved life and always cared about everyone. I will miss Linda but rejoice in the fact that she loved the Lord and she is now in NO pain in the precious arms of OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. I look forward to that reunion Ms. Linda. I will miss you here on earth!”
“Life never begins or ends as we would choose. Linda was a special person and anyone who knew her was blessed. I have many memories of Linda growing up and my favorite one is with my sister Elaine, Linda and myself in our bedroom dancing and pretending to be the Supremes singing “Stop in the name of love” and that is what God had planned for Linda. In the name of LOVE he called her home to stop the pain that she suffered. Rest in Peace my dear cousin.”
“Linda’s family are all in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will comfort you with the knowledge of how much she was loved by everyone. Linda had the most beautiful spirit! I know she’s flying with the other angels right now, looking out for all of us left behind. She will be sorely missed until we meet again. “
“I have only known Linda for 2 years but she is someone I will not forget. She was always laughing and talking and never met a stranger. She knew the name of everyone she worked with and on the bus she rode everyday. It is a little quiter now here on earth but I bet Linda has the angels laughting. She is missed.”
“I met Linda when we both rode the 35X bus from Rivergate to Nashville. Everyday when she got on the bus she would say, “Good morning, everybody.” Then she would look to see who was on the bus and greet each of us by name or with a wave. Even when she didn’t feel great, she always smiled and waved and could be counted on to cheer up the entire bus. May God minister peace to Linda’s family and friends at this time. May God richly bless her family members who care for her these past several months. “
“I went to see Linda in the hospital before she moved back to MD, and her sweet spirit was the same as it had always been even with her diagnosis. Still smiling, laughing, and looking at the bright side. She had the heart of a child, and I am reminded of this verse: Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. There is no doubt where she is today, and I hope The Lord sees fit for me to join that angel band and sing to her again. Thank you for the friendship and sweet memories Linda, and May God bless your family and friends in the coming days and always. “
“I met Linda on the 35X bus. She always greeted you when boarding the bus in the morning. She loved her “babies” and I am sure that Hoss misses her. I miss you my friend and you will hold a special place in my heart. You are in Heaven and one day I will see you again. “
“To all of Linda’s family & friends, I am so sorry to learn of her passing. I first met Linda at a Chris Golden show a number of years ago. It was very evident that Linda was a very friendly person and that she was sincerely cared for by her many friends. Please accept my most sincere sympathy at this difficult time.”
