Lindsey's family talking about their wonderful Angel

As many of you know, a dear family friend passed away a few months back in an auto accident. It was shocking, unexpected and devastating. She would have turned 22 last week. In her 21 years, she touched more lives than most touch their entire life. She was loved by all and had an infectious smile. On Saturday, the Irving School Foundation had their 1st annual walk and it was dedicated to Miss Lindsey Lear. I know she was shining down on us smiling. The three of us were actually late but pulled up to full parking spots, sweaty runners and lots of water bottles. The community did a wonderful job working together to raise money for Irving ISD and the Lindsey Lear Scholarship Foundation. The total donations according to the website here say almost $15,000 but at the run, the number was closer to $18,000. Either way, that is awesome and shows how much this precious Angel was and is still loved.

  1. That breaks my heart that she was so young, but it is so amazing how God works in so many ways when someone passes! The amount of money raised is awesome!
