I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Lindsay, a wonderful lady, mentor, teacher, and friend. She was an inspiration to me and so many. I offer my sympathy to Cheryl, her family and extended family for their loss.
Mrs. Lindsay was my beloved Grade 8 teacher at J. R. Reid School when it first opened and I used to babysit Cheryl so many years ago. It’s pretty remarkable when you can think back to an amazing teacher that has been such an influence in your life!
She was an icon and a role model - kind, constantly smiling, always embracing and welcoming. A real support during those pre-teen/teen years. Her integrity and her scholarship were inspiring, and I believe she impacted the lives of all of her students, not only as a teacher, but as a counsellor, guide and friend. My memories are of a vibrant personality with great energy and a mischievous sense of humour. What a great lady!
My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. May fond memories bring you peace, support, and strength.
With sincere sympathy,
Joan McDuff (Hill) Kingston, ON.
