From a fellow Lyme fighter
I want to send my condolences
To family and friends
No matter how much time
Has passed
Lindsay is never forgotten
As the strong determined young lady
As she is with Jesus Christ
Will always be a part of people she touched
I am healed and blessed
And prayers always for all dealing with this disease
Never give up hope

I met Lindsay several times at the Golden Valley SAVE support group. What a neat person and I was very impressed every time she spoke. What a terrible loss not only to her family but to all of us. My heart and prayers go out to her family.

I knew Lindsay when we were legal interns at the Homeless Advocacy Project in San Francisco. Our clients were by definition people who suffered from mental illness and were homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Lindsay was a star, sharing her light with dozens of clients. Her light not only illuminated for them what their next steps in law would be but also helped them recover something inside themselves. She was a generous coworker who affirmed what was real and true. I will always remember her.

My heart goes out to your family. Our son also suffers from lyme disease, and we know how this disease affects your whole family as you have to stand by and watch your loved one suffer. I hope the medical field will wake up and face the reality of this disease. I am sorry for your loss, but encouraged by your faith to see you through this difficult time. You are in my prayers.

It is very sad that a woman with so much to offer the world dies so young. It is horrifying when she dies because she had a disease that is treatable and so ignored by our medical system.
I don't believe I have ever read an obituary so touching and beautiful. Clearly she was loved.

It is difficult to find the proper words to describe my feelings for the loss of your beautiful daughter, Lindsay and her sister Jennifer earlier this year. As my daughter Lindsay suffers with this horrific disease, as well, your loss gives me even more reason to help in the fight to find answers. Sending heartfelt prayers and sympathy your way.

My deepest sympathy to your family for the loss of your precious daughter(s) this year. I talked to Lindsay online quite a few times in years past, we had much in common, our LLMd's that we had seen & the painful symptoms of Lyme and even our belief in God. I hadn't heard from her in some time & have thought of her often. She will be missed. May God give your family the peace that surpasses understanding. Until we meet again Lindsay, Dana

I'm so sorry for your loss. There are no words really for the feeling I have after reading another one of us lost the fight. I can't even imagine what the family is going through. I have had lyme 20 yrs and my whole family has it. When will the suffering end from lyme disease? Something has got to be done. Again, I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter.
October 4, 2010
When we loose a person to Lyme Disease, the whole Lyme community mourns. I am sure Lindsay fought the good fight
My beloved daughter has been suffering with Lyme for ten plus years.
My heart hurts for you all.
You have honored all who suffer with Lyme by mentioning it.

My daughter also has Chronic Lyme Disease. She has had it since early 2005 but it was not diagnosed until May 2009. She has been very sick and is totally disabled. We had lost our son, her brother, to a brain tumor in Feb. 2009. I share your grief in the loss of a child. Mine is also in heaven. My daughter battles this horrible disease every day...her pain is so bad sometimes she can hardly stand it. Please accept my sincere sympathy. May God give you all of the peace you need to deal with your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lyme needs to be taken more seriously. My husband has brain damage and extensive nerve damage from it and most doctors and friends dont understand the severity of it. Lets pray for the awareness and research of it and for those suffering as a result of the lack of it. My sincere condolences to you and yours. xo

As I prepare to present 5 educational speechs on Lyme Disease this week at various senior housing centers I will prepare to read part of this obituary and dedicate the sessions to Lindsay. I myself am a retired teacher who had Lyme Disease so I know what Lindsay went through. Please accept my condolences and know that members of the Minnesota Lyme Association are doing all we can to educate the public of the presence and dangers of Lyme Disease. The mention of Lyme Disease in this obituary is one way of helping educate the public. God Bless and comfort you in your loss. Marian Johnson, White Bear Lake, MN.

So sorry for your loss. It is difficult to lose another person to Lyme & Co. Thank you for supporting Turn The Corner Foundation, who help to fund research to find answers for this disease. I hope to join the research family soon and help to find answers to prevent more deaths. I have been fighting Lyme for more than 6 years, and have come close to death a couple of times myself. Wish I could provide more emotional support during this time of grief, but travel is difficult for me right now.

...May angels lay their wings as a path for Lindsay... as she enters their presence... as they welcome one of their own.. she understands the fight we all have (including other members of my own family) now with these infections..better than any...and we call to her to remember us.. as we will not forget her... and to send her healing light... to us.. to shelter us in our battle.. now that her own soul is healed...some of us did not know you Lindsay.. across the miles.. but you have been in our hearts.. as we fight together...and we will not forget you.. and take us with you in Spirit... we miss you.. and we will keep fighting on...your example.. inspires us...none of us know when our time might be.. and we are all afraid... we would rather have all of you with us...but knowing you are there.. to hold our hands when we fearfully step over that same threshold...helps us to not feel so all alone...today..( Oct 3, 2003 ) is the anniversary of the day we lost my father.. Dr. Peter H. Bosen.. probably also to lyme.. but not diagnosed...and this is the first I heard of Linsday's passage.. Dad... reach out to this daughter.. hold her hand as she comes your way.. I lend you to her for her parents sake.. take care of her.. as you would me..and lead her to her loved ones who have gone before...to keep safe.. and feel loved by them and those below...and God grant comfort and peace to her parents here ... she is with you still...and you are not alone...He promises.. He is with us always.. until the end of time...+ God Bless and Keep all of you.. and my sister.. in the fight for survival...in body and spirit... Lindsay.. From Elayna J.

Dear Kinneberg Family,
I am SO sorry to hear about the passing of your daughter. I am 22 and have been battling Lyme Disease for over 10 years now. I looked up Jennifer's obit, and I am wondering if she too died from Lyme and co-infections. Sooooo SAD....

To the Kinnebergs, Lindsay was and is deeply loved and respected by her law school friends and peers - her compassionate spirit taught us all what it truly means to "fight the good fight" in both equal justice and life.

Mr and Mrs Kinneberg, I cannot find the words to express my condolences and sadness for you. Lindsay was a friend of mine through our school years and I have many happy memories of her and I. I was very lucky to have spent some time with her in the last few years. She was always able to make me laugh and smile. I will miss her very much.
You have been and will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you during this very difficult time.
