It has been my honor to know Lindsay for only a short time. As I have learned more about her struggles, I have admired all the more the genuine goodness in her. That she found so much joy in the good times only proves how much she was able to find strength despite the obstacles. I admire her and that cannot change. I know she is in God's arms, her struggles now over, but will miss her and carry the image of that infectious smile with me the rest of my life.
