My favorite memory of Lindy was sitting near her during the many softball games we attended. Watching her hand out money for seeds and sodas to any youngster who happened by needing something or anything. Love to all her family and close friends who will greatly miss her, as I will...softball season is right around the corner. It just won't be the same.

The world is a little darker yet your legacy lives on--now with a Guardian Angel to call their very own.
