Lee, Barbara, Brandi, and Braxton-you all are in my thoughts and prayers daily. My heart aches over the loss of Lindsey. As much as I'll miss that mischievious smile and fun loving nature of hers, she will always live in the memories I have of growing up with my BFF. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have the bond we shared since we were in diapers and am thankful that I had the opportunity to tell her I loved her one last time and to hear her say back, "I love you too." That is a memory that I will always cherish. Cling to those good memories of her for comfort and tell that sweet baby boy of hers about those memories so he will remember the person that his mommy was. I love ya'll and am here if you need me.

My love and sympathy are with you all. I love you so very much and know that there is nothing that can be said to ease the pain. Lindsey was like an older sister to me and when I think of her I will always remember playing barbies on the second floor of the Pascal house.
