The real Lindsay generously loved and cared for everyone: me, our children, family, friends and their patients. The very fibers of your soul are loving. All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.”
Finally, the father remembered each of his children with love, referring to their qualities and closed the statement saying: “Cora, Dawson and Callan, you gave me so much in your short time here. I don’t know if the pain will ever go away, but I will do my best to continue in your honor. Dada loves you very much and will always remember you”.
