Mrs. Lindsey was a wonderful person who nurtured my love of reading. I adored her and she will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

Your beloved wife, mother, and grandmother was a kind and helpful person to all. My mother, Edith H. Johnson, worked with her at Connally for many years. Mother always spoke so highly of Mrs. Lindsay! I had the privilege of attending Connally schools with Russell and Ricky. My sons went to school with Ricky’s children. Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay together raised such a nice family. I can just imagine how proud Mrs. Lindsay was of her children and grandchildren!
Floyd and Family,
I want to extend my love and sympathy to each of you, as you have lost your precious, Louise. I have many fond memories of her from school. She always had a smile on her face. May God keep all of you in his arms and He will comfort and help you through this difficult time. In Christian love, Nancy
