Marjorie Lindsay was the kindest and sweetest person I have ever met and I suspect she will always hold that place. In my teen years and beyond, I spent so much time with the Lindsay family through a long friendship with Debbie. Mrs. Lindsay filled their homes with love, laughter, compassion for others and the most welcoming arms and smile I have ever encountered. Mrs. Lindsay led by example in all things. Simply being around her showed me that the only way to live a life was through love. Anytime I would stop in for a visit after I left Halifax was the best day. How special she made me feel. Her loud, exuberant greetings were like a pure tonic of happiness. She would throw her head back and shout: “My DARLING! How wonderful to see you again” and wrap me in the warmest hug. Marjorie Lindsay lived her life fulfilling the words of Mother Teresa:
- LET NO ONE EVER COME TO YOU WITHOUT LEAVING BETTER AND HAPPIER.
- BE THE LIVING EXPRESSION OF GOD’S KINDNESS:
- KINDNESS IN YOUR FACE.
- KINDNESS IN YOUR EYES.
- KINDNESS IN YOUR SMILE
Rest well Mrs. Lindsay. I love you and hold you in my heart.
