Although I didn´t know Lindsey, I knew her husband, Rob from his business. What a loving family. My heart and prayers go out to everyone in this family. Hold each other close and share your memories and feelings as you navigate the tough times ahead.

Even though I didn´t personally know Lindsey, I know her dad, Dave, and husband, Rob, quite well. My heart is devastated to read her obituary this morning. I am SO VERY sorry. Praying you feel His comfort now and in future days, months, and years. Hard to understand His ways when He takes them so young but how can we question them? Take courage in knowing you´ll meet again. Sending my sympathy, and prayers to all the families.
