In Loving Memory
There's no doubt Lindsey was a bright spot in the life of her Grandmother, and my best friend, Lynn. I've listened to Lindsey stories for over 20 years. She was adored by George, her grandfather, fiercely protective of her mother and a source of joy to Lynn. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Tonya and Jerry, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you and the entire family on the loss of your daughter. I'm sure you will cherish her memory. In times like these, I turn to God's Word the Bible for comfort, and I find scriptures such as John 5:28,29 which speaks of a resurrection that will soon take place. Also Revelation 21:3,4 assures us that tears, pain, sorrow and death will soon all be things of the past. I hope these scriptures help you as they have for me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in this most difficult time.

I think I only met Lyndsey briefly once or twice when visiting with my brother Paul and sister Sawn at Colonial Flag. However, I know from what they have told me and what they said at the graveside service what a tremendous contribution she has made to our community and to the world. When I was walking through the 9/11 Healing Field this past year I think the most touching moments were when I was reading some of the tags which were on several of the flags. It is my understanding that Lyndsey was largely responsible for this and many other aspects of the Healing Fields. Sometimes without ever getting to know a person very well you still get to know them by their fruits. When you see an orchard you know that someone was busy working behind the scenes planting seeds long before you arrived. This is the feeling I get about Lyndsey.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is ?near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.? (Psalm 34:18) He has promised to soon ?swallow up death forever?and wipe the tears from all faces.? (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
