Many of us thought, hoped, and prayed that this day would never come. How could some nasty, mutating cells take the woman who had the world on her wings, with sunshine in her eyes, and healing laughter in her breath? I am sad to report that early this morning, in Shawn’s loving arms, Lindsay passed from this veil of tears and pain, but I am here to say that cancer DID NOT WIN! Lindsay is done with her battle with cancer and is now free to share with loved ones in heaven and earth alike the power of her example and that is how I would describe Lindsay, POWERFUL…in word and deed!

When doctors gave her months, she took years, she was in charge and she left a lasting testimony of her incredible fight. Her never ending legacy rests in the hearts of her beautiful children and Shawn, in her family and in the thousands of us that have been touched by this unique and amazing soul. In that way, CANCER DID NOT WIN! Is there one of us that will ever look at a yellow high heel shoe in the same way? Will we look at our children and marriages differently? Will we face the challenges in our own lives with more grace because we knew and loved her? That is the definition of winning!

So on a really hard day never let it be said that Lindsay Richards lost her battle to cancer. I am so proud of Lindsay, Shawn, and their kids. Following their examples let us recommit ourselves to truly LIVE not just survive, to LOVE with all of our hearts not just part…because that is how each of us will hold Lindsay’s legacy with honor and fight to our own finish!

****We will be doing a Giving Tree for Shawn and the kids to help them through this difficult time. If you would like to participate please follow the link /help-your-friend/list/lindsay-richards/ or mail your contribution to 2573 N. 2450 E. Layton, 84040. I will post details about delivery date and start of list of names (anonymous or otherwise) that have made contributions so that the Anything for a Friend family can warm the hearts of Lindsay’s family at this time of sorrow.

In Lindsay's own words and from her heart, "I can do anything in the right pair of shoes!"

Lindsay and family,

I am so excited to welcome you to the Anything for a Friend family. Though you know in a deep and personal way that this life was never designed to be easy, I can't wait for you to see an event for your family full to the brim with loved ones and strangers alike all coming together to let you know that life was also designed to be full of love, compassion, and goodness.

The greatness that has always been expressed in your life will return to you one hundred fold! Welcome to the family.

Love,

Becky

This is an amazing thing that is happening! It's so good to see friends and family helping so much!
I would love to donate 2 photo shoots (one for the silent action, and one for the live auction) for P.S.Photo.

Lindsey and her sweet husband,
You guys are amazing, wonderful, and so strong!! You're fighting so hard and should be so proud of yourselves! Keep doing the best that you can :) And I know you don't know me, but, if you need an extra helping hand with your kids, let me know. Maybe my years of nannying can come in use, lol.
P.S. I live in Ogden.

If anyone deserves some help, you do. You both were great friends growing up. My prayers are with you and your family. I will try to be there. That is the day I will be baptizing my son. All will work out for the best.
