Dear Roger and family, although I’ve never met you or your wife, you still have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your loved one. I’m going through same with my Mom, so we need to stick together and have people to talk to who  know we all go through the same feelings and denial that this can’t really be happening. Until it does come, and still,you find yourself not wanting to believe it happened.  My heart goes you to you and your family and I Pray that the lord eases your pain in the coming days and leaves you with only happy and joyous memories of your loved one.  God Bless you and your family in your time of need.

Dear Roger,
I am so so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife Lindsey.  Although we only met once in person at the Cherry Hill table top event, the admiration, affection and zest you two shared was clearly palpable.  You reminded me of high schooler’s excited to get away from all the distractions and have some well deserved alone time 🙂  I remember thinking how much her gorgeous blue eyes sparkled, and even more so when she looked at you.  My most sincere sympathies to your family.  Big Hugs.

I met Lindsey when she coordinated for a French exchange group. She was indeed a very loving, kind and caring person. I’m glad I got to communicate with you during your last days and meet you last year. It’s hard to find people like you and sad you passed this soon. Glad you are free of pain and no longer fighting this awful sickness. With love. Stella

I’ll never forget our school trip to the boundary waters of Minnesota. Lindsey was my canoe partner and I did everything I could to portage that canoe the way she did. She never gave up hope on me. Not only was she honest sweet and sincere. She was encouraging and motivating. She’s a spirit I’m fortunate to have encountered as i’m sure anyone already knows. Sincere prayers for peace and comfort to all hearts she touched. – Jodie Thurston
