Lindsey

Please be lifting up the Pruett family right now. It has been a rough couple of weeks. On Monday, December 10 we found out that Zack's sister Lindsey had passed away in her sleep the night beforehand. Lindsey is Zack's youngest sister and was just 29 years old. We do not have any answers yet. Lindsey was sick for awhile in the fall and has also struggled with being sick on and off again for some time. She lived in her own apartment in Abilene where Zack's parents also live. She loved playing with her nieces and nephews. She loved to give manicures and pedicures to friends and family.  She had a huge collection of nail polishes and stickers that my girls just loved! One of my favorite memories of her is when she was painting either Kate's finger nails or toe nails and Mom Mom was doing the opposite hand. It was quite the sight! Another memory that I will forever treasure is when she and Kamara sang a duet in our wedding. She and Kamara sang beautifully and it was such a gift to Zack and me.  I loved to hear Lindsey laugh. It was a deep infectious laugh that would make you smile. Lindsey loved to help others out. When Zack's grandmother was recovering from surgery she really  relied on Lindsey for support. Lindsey acted like a nurse for her for awhile and even stayed with her during her recovery. Before Claire was born, she talked to me on the phone and gave me very sweet, encouraging words. She also would encourage me as a sister and as a friend. I am so glad that at Thanksgiving she was able to see Claire and hold her for awhile. That was the last time I saw her or talked to her. Lindsey also cared deeply for her boyfriend Josh who she has been with for many years now.  Lindsey baptized him last Easter, which was such a blessing. Josh is the one that found Lindsey on Monday morning. A couple of days after the funeral, he decided it would be best to move back to Michigan to be with his family. This whole situation has been heartbreaking for the family, especially for Zack's parents. Please be specifically lifting them up in prayer.  In this life we don't ever plan to lose a son or daughter because it's not in the right order. Lindsey will be missed by many. I rejoice in the fact that she is in a better place now.

I want to say a special thanks for to everyone for all the cards we have been receiving.  Thank you to everyone that actually drove down Abilene for the funeral or visitation. We have felt lots of love by our friends and church family.  There has been a huge out pouring of love.  Zack and I are blessed, very blessed.
