  6. To The Family, I would like to offer my sincere condolences in the passing of Mary Lindsay Alford. When death strikes it hurts so much and we may ask, ‘does God really care about us’ The answer is yes, God loves and care about us. God also knows how death affects us. This is one of the reasons why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth to provide the ransom sacrifice to redeem mankind from sin and death. (John316) Jesus stated, I am the resurrection and the life. In the near future, Jesus will use his God-given power to resurrect the dead. When Mary Lindsay Alford is brought back to life, she will not have any problems whatsoever and she will have the precious opportunity of living forever in God’s new system of things. I hope that these scriptural thoughts bring you comfort at this difficult time. God bless you.

  7. Allen & Glenda, So sorry to hear of your loss! You are in our thoughts & prayers. The Lord definitely sends His comfort in times like these. Lean on His everlasting arms….and He will send His peace to you. Love to your family! Brian, Pattye, Sherri & Shannon Ferrell

  8. Lindsay was my first best friend in elementary school, the one who talked me into playing basketball at Red Oak with her. Lindsay was my friend throughout high school and into our early adult years, the one who also talked me into dating the man I’m married to today. To say the least, Lindsay was the most courageous girl I had ever met. I will miss you and will cherish the many, many memories we had together throughout the last 25 years. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with each and every Alford family member.

  9. Lindsey had an easy going laugh I remember her coming to see me in Goldsboro with Debbie and Peyton a few years ago……. We went to MsDonalds to eat and had a good time just visiting ….. She was so full of life, always laughing just cutting up making jokes. That is what I will always remember about Linds…. that is what I used to call her when we chatted on facebook privately even though it had been a few years ……. God rest her sweet soul in peace……..

  10. Lindsay and my brother Shane had an on and off relationship of at least 11 yrs. She made me an aunt twice to my niece Riley Grace Killebrew in heaven and my nephew Matthew Peyton Killebrew. She loved her kids and she loved my brother, they were planning on getting a place together again. I am glad in the end her and Shane were able to spend that time together with Peyton as a family.
