MESSAGES

Below are some of the touching messages we have received through emails to the site. These emails meant so much and that is why we feel we must share them with the rest of you.

"When it comes time to choosing a role model, Westchester County's young people would do themselves and their communities a tremendous favor by selecting Lindsey Bonistall. We in White Plains
were so privileged to have her as a neighbor. I'll always do my best to honor and perpetuate her memory."

-- Glenn Staub

"Lindsey was unbelievably beautiful."

-- Tim McKeown

"This is a wonderful website and a great way to spread awareness. I was a friend of Lindsey and I was a co-member with her on Mayors Youth Council. She is always on my mind and will always be remembered for her intelligence, beautiful and charming personality, and warm heart."

-- Diana Sigona

"I will always remember the good times we had as teammates - the random jokes during soccer season and the singing during swimming practices. Whether it's on the field or a cheerleading competition Lindsey will always be remembered as the girl who made the entire world smile."

-- Julia Kyembe

"I feel that I practically grew up with her because I could never forget those grammer school days at St. Anthony's. I remember Lindsey as a charming girl always smiling and making people smile. I think about Lindsey everyday always as that girl who was always making people happy."

-- John Garcia

"I got to work with Lindsey while teaching [gymnastics] at the "Y" and I have to say I will never forget her. Lindsey's spirit was wonderful to be around, always up for anything when it came to the kids she had to teach."

-- Gordon Ware

"I never knew Lindsey, but this tragedy has touched my heart. From what I have read [about Lindsey], she was a bright girl with so many ideas and goals for the future. I know you will keep Lindsey's message and memory alive."

-- Linda Hunt

"Lindsey was always smiling, always laughing, always enjoying life."

-- Maureen Bramberger

"I couldn't make sense of the loss until her funeral. There, I noticed what God was trying to teach us--value your family, because when you lose them, they're gone forever. How unfortunate that Lindsey was the one to teach us this important lesson."

-- Andrew Rhodes

"There are three things that I will always remember when I think of her. First was her smile, which never seemed to dim. Second was her positive energy, she never gave up and never said never, and third was her compassionate heart. I never knew a time when Lindsey was not thinking of others. At her wake service, someone said to me that she was just starting to bloom, to which I said 'yes, but look around this room and see what she did in the 20 years we were blessed to have her on earth!'"

-- Richard DeSantola

"I relate to her [Lindsey] as she represents me, my friends and every other female student that lives or have lived off campus at UD [ University of Delaware]. I see her picture and I cry at a precious life taken too soon at the hands of a criminal. I never knew Lindsey but I hope to see her with angels on her wings when I get there."

-- Shari Abramson

"In all the years I lived next to Lindsey, I always knew she was special. But what struck me was her funeral, and how many people showed up. And even today, people that only met her once never forgot about her. Lindsey made such a great impact on everyone that all those people still cry over her daily. There are few people that possess that kind of radiance about them. And Lindsey perfected it."

-- Josh Herzenberg

"She had such a good heart and an amazing laugh that instantly made you feel better. She was gorgeous and I will never forget the times I was able to spend with her. I am truly blessed to be able to call Lindsey my friend. She will be forever missed and always loved by the Dickinson B first floor."

-- Beth Browne

“I can smell the leaves turning and hear her laughter. My daughter is growing up and we are gratefully remembering our Blessed Lindsey who gave us Monster Spray, Guardian Moons and a real heaven to dream of.”

-- Anonymous

“I never knew Lindsey, but I really wish I had. She must have been a very wonderful person to have so many people - who knew her and who didn't - so deeply saddened by what happened.”

-- Cassandra McCormick

“I want you to know that like everyone else I will always and forever remember Lindsey as the person who made EVERYONE smile...She will forever be in my heart and prayers as well as you and your family to always remember the heart filled girl we all knew and love.”

-- Kristen Sattler

“At that time I realized how much people care about each other even if they do not say it....Please know that I will forever keep her in my heart…and I hope it gives the family a sense of comfort knowing that there are many people out there who love and care for Lindsey, and always will.”

-- Erin Powers

“We are all trying to deal with this tragedy the best way we know how. Supporting each other, remembering Lindsey and continuing Lindsey's legacy are some ways to help us cope.”
