So Sad to hear the news about Lindsay. I was a friend of Lindsays when we worked at UPS together in Harahan, LA. I read what peple have said and realized that Lindsay remained the Caring,Fun-Loving person that she was so many years ago. We were friends during the years that she was married to Wayne. I shared the miracle and joy of Miranda and Melissa's births and young lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Winking,blinking, and nod...oh how she knew every stanza of each nursery rhyme and she not only loved teaching or just saying them to you children, but she prided herself on knowing them to her end. She was feeling down the other day and knowing it would lift her spirits I asked her to tell me about winking, blinking and nod.... her wonderful mind would drift off into the nourishing world she experienced as a child,carried on the love to you guys,and once again got so animated reciting them to me. We always tapped in to uplifting each other. She was that kind of friend.... Oh how she loved the solitude of being out on the water...we were joking the other day (this wasn't the first reference)how she would feed the fish with her food leftovers,not a problem,we just joked not ashes in the wind Ashes in "her water".What a great wordsmith...just great ! Although the last puzzeling and correct word was for a person that is , (help me put with this) was the term used for a person going through a rehab having experienced a cult following. We toyed rehab,renew, self-indoctrimation, uncult....oh we toyed to no avail. I know now she has that great word of the Lord and that question has been answered.Long live my dictionary queen.
