On February 17, 2008 all of our lives were changed in an instant with Lindsay’s tragic passing. As a family we have been faced with a multitude of heart-wrenching decisions and one of the most difficult in coming to terms with Lindsay’s death was the placement of her memorial. There was and is a horrible finality to this task – it really is forever. We asked family and friends to contribute “words” they associated with Lindsay and her life that we would have etched in to her memorial stone. After receiving hundreds of “words”, the family settled on 25 as an appropriate number and we humbly thank everyone for their contributions. All of Lindsay's “words” mean so much to us and all are kept in a special place in Lindsay’s library. The front of Lindsay’s memorial states “The world is a book” and this is how Lindsay lived her life – always learning, always experiencing, always loving, always. The rest of the quote from St. Augustine is “those who do not travel read only a page.” The Kimmett family pledges to continue Lindsay’s travels and dedicates our journeys to honor her. We encourage all to broaden their horizons and hope they will join us in collecting pebbles from all corners of the world to leave for Lindsay at her final resting place.
