My wonderful, loving, quirky daughter in law Lindy died during a major surgery. The entire family is grieving, but this falls heaviest on my dear son Ryan and Lindy's precious daughter Kyla. This leaves such a gaping hole in all of our hearts. Lindy was the very best wife and mother, and an extraordinarily unique personality. I am so glad that Ryan and Kyla have each other to hold on to during this time of enormous loss.
While Shari and I only got to know Lindy in the last four years of her life, I am so glad that we had that opportunity. The love she shared with Ryan, while much too short, was all encompassing. They were made for each other. I only wish they had more time together. And I am so grateful that Lindy brought Kyla into our lives. We may not be related by blood, but she is and always will be our granddaughter.
