Dear Elza, Please accept my sincere condolences on Lindsay's unexpected death. I was indeed saddened and wish I was physically able to attend his graveside service. I have always had great admiration for Lindsay -- from his being the quarterback on our high school football team to the many interesting activities he engaged in during his lifetime. I always enjoyed visiting with him at our class reunions in recent years. Best wishes, Elza, in your life now without him. Love, Kelley
