I just got an email from my matron-of-honor, Melissa:
I’m sorry for the mass email, but I needed a quick way to find you all. My Sister-In-Law, Lindsay, passed away suddenly yesterday morning. She was 6 months pregnant and the doctors tried to save the baby, but were unsuccessful. She had a blood clot and there was nothing the doctors could do. She died instantly and painlessly. My brother, Jonathan, had his daughter baptized and named, Tyler Grace, and he got to hold Tyler with Lindsay in the room and experience being a family. Please keep my brother in you prayers. He needs them so much.
Many of you know how much Melissa and her family mean to me. Please keep Jonathan and Lindsay’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

OMG. How awful. I don’t know your friends mentioned there, but I’m praying for them just the same.
Oh wait, I do know the family. Didn’t connect the dots on first read. It was awful news before, but now it’s more real. Oh my.
This is absolutely devastating news. However, this is a faithful family who knows God is there with them. We will be praying for them. We miss you all!
We send our condolences and prayers for you, Jonathan, and your family. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

Jonathan,
Im so sorry to hear about Lindsay’s death. I went to Radford with Lindsay, meeting her when we both lived in the dorms. She was the most lovable person you could ever meet and whenever any of us girls in the dorm needed someone, Lindsay was there for us. My condolences go out to you, your family and lindsay’s family.
God Bless,
Cristina
