Even after a year, I still cannot forget her smile, her kindness and her laughter.
She will always have a special place in my heart.

I was Lindsay's stand partner in the CBSO a few years back. I had the privilege of getting to know her and some of her friends back then. She was such an enthusiastic musician, dedicated to her role in the orchestra, and an all around kind and generous person. I'm terribly saddened to hear of her passing. Deepest condolences to her family and friends.
How you can show support

I don't know why but .... we hadn't chatted for quite while so I just wanted to call and say hi. I had no idea of your loss until I called. I cannot express how sorry I am. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Pam, I heard this devastating news through the grapevine today. My heart aches for you and Scott. May you find comfort in remembering all the wonderful moments you have shared.

I have to say this first. I'm extremely sorry for your loss. I had the benefit of meeting Ms. Chase when I was in 8th grade. I clearly remember her welcoming me and being very understanding of my past's self lack of skill. She made the peice we were playing very enjoyable and fun. I was lucky enough to join the Macdonald community and have her as my music teacher this past year. She made class fun with a Harry Potter themed points system and modern peices like "The Avengers, and The Magic of Harry Potter". There are a lot of things I want to say to Ms. Chase such as "Thank you". Thank you for being my music teacher, thank you for inspiring me to play the violin for fun and with passion, and thank you for being there for me during my one year as your student. I realize that I'm rambling and I'm sorry but Ms. Chase had a large impact on my music career and I never got to thank her for it. Words cannot describe how sad we will all be without her, how sad the world will be without her. I never realized how much her classes meant to me until she was gone and that's one of my largest regrets. I'm going to say it one last time. Thank you Ms Chase, thank you for everything. I wish we didn't have to say goodbye.

OMG! Pam I am so,so very sorry to hear of Lindsay's passing.
I only found out today when I ran into Susan Arbour. I came home and looked up the obituary and I started to cry This was my sweet
Lynds who I had coached in softball and had loved her spunk enough to put in her as a pitcher even though she was one of our younger players. Words cannot express my thought and feelings and may you have a peace knowing how much she was loved ❤
August 22, 2015
May her soul rest in peace. Lindsay was an amazing, joyous,outgoing, beautiful, and wonderful person. I'm so glad I had the chance to know you. You were a truly amazing person and we were blessed to know you for the short time we did

I am very saddened to hear of your loss, Lindsay was a wonderful person. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am very fortunate to have known Lindsay. I first met her at music camp a few years ago. She inspired me both as a musician and as a teacher. I am so lucky to have been welcomed as a teachers assistant to her my year after graduating from high school. I learned so much from her during that year. Music is about friendship, fun and learning. Lindsay incorporated all of these in her classroom. Lindsay was a wonderful mentor to me and I will always remember her for that. Her love of music and teaching has inspired me to study music and recently begin teaching private lessons. I cannot express the impact Lindsay has had on my musical career.

Lindsay had a beautiful and kind heart. I had the pleasure to work with her one summer in Taiwan. I remember when it was my birthday, she made the effort to get everyone together, buy a cake and make the day a special one for me.. even when we didn't know each other that well. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. She will be missed.
August 6, 2015

Oh Pam, I am so sorry for the loss you and Scott are feeling now. I can't breath, I can't find the right words. I know how close you all are, and my heart is broken for you. Lindsay was such a beautiful girl, and your connection was so much more than Mother / Daughter and Brother / Sister. Know you and Scott are in my heart and prayers.

Hi Pam:
My heart is deeply saddened at the great loss of your beautiful daughter.
Your tribute to your daughter brought tears to my eyes. You were so proud of your two children when I knew you as a secretary at Bendale BTI. I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you during this very difficult time. Through Barb Curry, the Bendale Family has been informed. We are keeping your family in our prayers. We are all deeply saddened by this news.

My sincerest condolences. As a neighbour, my daughter and I would often meet Lindsay in the elevator on our way to school every morning. Lindsay would always be smiling and eager to teach. At 48, I started playing baseball again because of Lindsay . We will miss her dearly.

Lindsay was a beautiful force within CBSO. I can't believe I am writing my condolences - seems unreal. She never shared her health situation but only indicated that it was serious. Never dreamed it was fatal. She and I have served on the Board of CBSO for a few years together and she was stellar in her service. I will miss her greatly as well as many others. God rest her sweet soul and I truly hope she is at peace in the beautiful garden I picture is part of heaven. I am grateful for all she has done for CBSO and everything else she so willingly gave to. She was (and is) a beautiful person and I am thankful to have known her .

Reading the beautifully worded tributes to Lindsay reinforces the impact that she has had on so many friends and students. Our family knew Lindsay as a neighbourhood child in elementary school, a friend of our daughter Laura. She was a sweet little girl who delighted in play and dress-up. She clearly had a positive effect on many who will remember her as a very special young lady. Pam and Scott, please know that you are in our thoughts...with love and sympathy.

It is difficult to articulate the shock and sadness that overwhelmed when I heard of Lindsay's passing. I attended OISE with Lindsay and am grateful for the many laughs we shared during our 8-hr classes, over drinks at Gabby's, while singing and dancing at karaoke or at the Maddy... As we worked towards completing the B. Ed., we all aspired to become the kind of teacher that Lindsay clearly was. In her memory, may the SP2 Class of 2008 continue to teach for the right reasons.
My deepest condolences to Lindsay's family, friends, colleagues, and students. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Eternal rest grant to her soul, O Lord. May the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

She was a great role model and mentor for the girls and it was always a great day or night when opening or closing the store with Lindsay. She definitely brought her personality and passion to work she will be missed by all that knew her. Condolences to her family as they are going through this tough time. Rest in peace Lindsay.

It was many year ago we worked together at Dynamite but I will never forget you Lindsay. You were always caring, helpful and passionate about everything you did.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on Lindsay's passing.
I was in Lindsay's class at OISE and always found her to be a happy and positive person. She knew what she wanted and had incredible focus. She was a very welcoming and friendly person, and I remember her speaking lovingly of her family. May she rest in peace.
Her memories will light the dark when I cannot see her face in the stars

To me, the meaning of life is to inspire others to give life meaning
And Lindsay inspired me, as a student I know her as Ms. Chase.
I'm sad, not that she's gone, because we'll all be gone eventually. I'm sad because of what she's had to leave behind. A brother that she talked about loving all the time, a mother and father, and all students that will always feel something missing when they play their beautiful music. Music that she loved and lived, and lived to love.
And now I will live, I will live to love what I do just as she did. Not because she is gone now, but because she was here
My heart goes out to all the family and friends that loved her as I did, And all those who will miss her
Lindsay McWaters

My sincerest sympathy to Lindsay's family, and especially mom and brother, at this difficult time. I was fortunate enough to have Lindsay join my team of teachers one summer in Taiwan. She was a joy to work, laugh, share new things, and travel with. The care, positivity, hard work, and enthusiasm she showed in the classroom were so special and truly a benefit to her students. Her love and light will not be forgotten.

I am so sad to find out this horrible news. Lindsay and I worked together for many years at Parks & Rec. Her smile and love for music always shined and all of the kids picked up on that. Her love of disney princess, dressing up for halloween will always be remembered. My heart goes out to the Chase family during this difficult time. You now have a beautiful Angel<3

Lindsay was one of the first people I met in the music programme at UTSC. Always with a big smile on her face, always full of passion for the music, and always great fun. It is heartbreaking to think that your spirit is no longer in this world because I know there are so many who would have been blessed to know such a beautiful person. You are often on my mind so many years later whenever I'm singing in choirs or randomly think of a joke you might have liked. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for everything.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I went to teacher's college with Lindsay and in fact, I remember meeting her the very first time I walked into OISE. We sat beside each other and I could tell right away how much passion she had for teaching. We became friends and she was always so supportive and kind. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

July 27, 2015
Pam,
I am still in disbelief. My heart goes out to you, Scott, your family, and friends. Lindsay was a gem - always bright, shining, colorful, and one-of-a-kind. She was my very first student teacher; and from day 1 of her practicum, I knew she was going to be an incredible educator. She inspired me to try new things in the classroom, do more for my students, and to dress up for Hallowe'en! She was amazing! After her year at OISE was complete, we stayed in touch with occasional lunch dates at Pho Viet or Agincourt Bakery. We would also catch up with each other at the CBSO rehearsals that I attended.
I was elated when Lindsay got the job at MAC - she did wonderful things there for the staff and her students.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She enriched the lives of so many people. She will always and forever be my best (and favourite) student teacher.
Lindsay Bodnaruk

When someone who meant so much to you is taken away with the blink of an eye, no words can convey the feeling. All you feel like doing is replaying memories in your mind, listening to songs you've played at concerts and reading yearbook comments. Ms. Chase, a teacher I had for all four years of high school for French, Strings and Vocal, who I saw practically three times a day. She was not only my teacher, but one of my closest friends. Thank you to the woman who inspired me to become the person I am today, who has always been there for me through thick and thin and is the reason behind the lifelong friends I have made. The memories we've created in class, at music camp, concerts, coffeehouses will last a lifetime. You will be greatly missed and will forever be in my heart.

I've never had her as a teacher, and the one time I'd met her, the timing wasn't too great. However, I always knew that she was an amazing teacher with a massive heart that would give the world and more for her students, always making sure that they strived for, and achieved the level of excellence that she saw in them. My condolences to her friends, family, and the Mac music community.
Jim Watt

No words can do justice to remembering Lindsay. She was so lovely, and so loved, by so many.
She was simply a "complete" young woman; intelligent, talented, congenial, attractive, caring and dedicated to her family and her profession.
I will always cherish my conversations with Lindsay, but particularly remember when she chose teaching over forensic science as a career. We talked at length about 'passion' and her passion for teaching music clearly won out. What a great victory for the hundreds of students and colleagues who were so fortunate to have Lindsay come into their lives.
Irving Berlin wrote the lyrics "the song is ended but the melody lingers on". Lindsay's sweet melodies will linger forever in so many hearts and lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with Pam and Scott whom she loved so much, and by whom she was loved so much.

You were the first teacher I saw in the morning three days a week before we got too lazy to show up. It was a classroom that started over an hour before regular classes and was filled with tired grumpy kids and adults. Yet we sang, we would sing our hearts out and acted as a family, and that will always be my fondest memory of school. Thanks to you and the music department I was able to make so many friends not just in the same grade, but older too. You were and are a beautiful role model and will dearly be missed, I can't imagine what school will be like now without you. You will forever be in the hearts of all your students, and thank you for all you've done for everyone.

My sympathies to Lindsay' family. I cannot believe this. I hold special memories of Lindsay coming to my home to visit Sean....she was so sweet. We all loved Lindsay. She was an amazing young lady and such an influence on so many. I'm not surprised she accomplished so much in her short life. I know she will be missed. May she RIP.

All I can say is that Miss Chase is the definitions of an amazing woman. She might have not taught me in any of her classes but I stayed close to her from the moment I met her. She made me laugh and helped me when I needed her the most. I will always remember talking about musicals and Harry Potter non stop with her. I will remember when she was there to calm me down when I felt my world was falling apart. She was there to cheer me on when I was down. I don't want to believe all this but I want to believe that she is looking down on us saying that she is proud of what she accomplished and what amazing students she had. She will still root for us for the rest of her life and this isn't a goodbye, it's a see you later.
So see you later Miss Chase make sure to always smile that beautiful smile you always give as.
Elaine Yao

Ms. Chase was - and still is - the reason why I can get up in the morning every day. Even before entering the doors of Sir John A. Macdonald as a high school student, her smile brightened the tense mood of the concerts. After entering high school, her smile became more warm and bright. When I hit rock bottom, she was always the one that gave me hope. I clearly remember that in grade 10, I had a surgery on my left arm, and as a violin student it was my worst nightmare. I was not able to even hold the violin. Instead of letting me drop music, she asked around and got me involved as a conductor and a teacher's assistant for my music class. She has opened many new opportunities for me and these experiences have been really useful, helpful and precious memories. I fell into darkness in grade 12 and had unpleasant thoughts, and it was Ms. Chase's encouragement, kind words and actions that brought me back up to my feet and helped me to enjoy life again. This is a huge impact to me because she not only helped me but also helped my family at the same time.
I really will miss you Ms. Chase! Rest in peace.

My first memory of Lindsay was at the Dec. 2012 concert at Mac. My daughter was performing a complicated piece of music as a member of junior strings. Part way through the performance the circuit panel blew. The lights went out and all were in darkness. The kids could not see their music, their instruments or their conductor. They continued to play from memory. They didn't miss a beat. They didn't miss a note. For forty-five seconds we sat in the pitch blackness and listened to our children make beautiful miraculous music. My daughters Sarah and Karen play violin and trumpet. They sing in the choir and serve on music executive. They have been to fall music camp, Chicago and New York City with Ms. Chase. They have performed at Kiwanas, grade 8 orientation nights, retirement home visits, feeder school visits and commencement. The kids have baked a thousand chocolate cupcakes in my kitchen for concert nights, carved Harry Potter pumpkins into the wee hours of the night for Halloween coffee houses, sat in my front room for five hours hammering out their parts to the Lion King, an exam piece for mixed choir, and spent 30 hours with Ms. Chase volunteering in the music room since school let out for summer this June. My daughters live and breath music at Mac. Lindsay has had a precious connection and lasting influence on them. We are so thankful for all of the time and energy that she invested in them. She was an amazing teacher.
