Chuck, Will and David,
Your Mother was a wonderful lady and was so pleasant to be with. I pray that God will bless you all during this time and give you the comfort you need.
Ms. Lindy is in Heaven enjoying her forever with our Heavenly Father.

Although I only knew Lindy through other family members, I never heard an unkind word said about her. She was held in high esteem by both my late husband, Edwin, and sister-in-law, Flo. I'm sure she is being welcomed in Heaven.
