Thank you so much for letting us read the obit for this wonderful woman. The following was written by Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918 Canon of St Paul's Cathedral. When my father passed away my mother carried this around until her own passing and now I carry it around with me. Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I  and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect without the trance of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight. I am waiting for you  for an interval somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well   My prayers and thoughts are with the Kimmett family Julia

You don't know me nor did I ever have the privilege of meeting Lindsay. I just wanted to say that in reading about Lindsay's all too short life in the Herald I was inspired by the many accomplishments, the many good deeds, the zest and energy that she was able to pack into so few short years. She must have been a truly remarkable young woman. I have two boys aged 17 and 20 I have clipped both the Herald article and the obituary notice and pinned them to my fridge. I have asked both of my sons to read both articles in the hope that they too will take inspiration from Lindsay's life and understand that life is short, that we all get to make choices and that those choices determine the kind of life we will lead. I know this must be an unimaginably terrible and tragic time for you all. I hope you can take some small solace and comfort in the fact that Lindsay is a source of inspiration still even to those that never had the good fortune of knowing her.
