This is a terrible tragedy. Lindsay was a former flicc, and I believed that she marched for three years. I had the privilege to meet her as a freshman when she would come to various flicc bonding activities and outings. Although I didn't know her well, she always seemed various nice and truly loved the FMB. If I remember correctly, I think she served on the truck crew and helped out a lot with the FMB. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lindsay's family and friends in the loss of this wonderful person.

The viewing is being held Friday from 4-8pm at Brunner's, 8466 Mentor Avenue Mentor, OH.

The funeral services will be held at the Ignasiak's church, location TBA, on Saturday, with prayer beginning at 9:20 and services beginning at 10AM.

Following the service and the interment, the Ignasiak family will be holding a light social for friends and family of Lindsay, location TBA.

Everyone says that the deceased was the nicest person, but I can honestly say with 100% certainty that a nicer person NEVER walked this Earth, save for Christ Himself. She had a love for others that lead her into nursing, and a strength that allowed her to fight for this long. She is missed already, but her Brothers and Sisters know she is rejoicing beside God, and we are thankful for that.

Please keep her family in your prayers.

I could not of said that better. Lindsay was a great person. We got to hang out in Cleveland for the MAC tourney a few years back and it was one of the best times ever. She just made good times ever better. She will be missed by alot.

I knew who she was, but not much more. It's always sad to see someone you know (even if only by association in the FMB) pass on. Wish I had more to say. I heard about it Monday evening, and still don't have anything...

Lindsay was truly an amazing person. She had a beautiful and pure spirit, and I hope that everyone who knew her will be inspired to be as positive, strong and loving as she was.

She loved BGSU, the FMB and TBS and added so much to our campus and to those organizations. I am proud to be able to call her my sister.

We miss you already Iggy.
