the other day i found out that an old friend of mine passed away unexpectedly. lindsey spjute was serving a mission in england when she suddenly passed from this life to the next. she was such an amazing person to have known. we went to elementary, jr. high and high school together and i saw her excel in all that she did. she was a smiling face to everyone. i never remember her upset or sad. she was always so positive and kind. she was such an amazing example of a person tyring to be like our savior jesus christ. i appreciate her for all that she did for those around her. i remember so many times her talking to those who were by themselves with no one to talk to. such an amazing daughter of god is simply just not saying enough. i love lindsey for all that she is. you will be missed spjute and know that we all love you!
it really makes you think that this life is only but a brief moment in the grand scheme of things. now is the time to prepare to meet god and live our lives with no regrets and with love and kindness to all around us. even if you don't know lindsey you can learn a lesson from her life. there is something more important to this life than what shoes you wear, what color your hair is or what kind of car you drive. life is about helping others understand their potential and lifting up others just to see the smile on their face. it seems unfair to have lost such an amazing person so soon, but i am so grateful that i have the gospel in my life that teaches that this life is not the end and that we will all live again someday. i do know that lindsey is in a better place and her mission has just truly started! so please keep the spjute family in your prayers and remember that there are no guarantees in this life! now is the time to live your life with joy and love!
thanks lindsey!

Thank you for you wonderful comments! It helps to get through hard times like this when you know others feel the same way about an amazing girl. I hope you are doing well!
Thanks for writing this, Al. I started to cry, btw! I do forget how little time we have, and how unpredictable it can be... Sometimes I forget how little time I have to make peace with everything and be a good person!!!
She was truly amazing, I love reading everyone's tributes. Shows me what a social, happy person she was and makes me want to forget about social boundaries.
