Lindsay Jane Braiden (née Blanchard)

I had the pleasure of working with this lovely lady. She was caring and giving and liked by all! She will be missed.

Though we did not know Lindsay personally our hearts and prayers go out to the entire family and all others who are touched by this tragic loss. We hope that keeping her joy in your thoughts will help provide comfort over time.

My thoughts and prayers are with Lindsay's family and friends at this most difficult time. May the happiness and sunshine she brought provide strength and healing to those now grieving this cruel and sudden loss.

Holding Lindsays family and friends close to our hearts during this unimaginably hard time. She brought light to everything she did and everyone she met. Lindsay helped shape the empathetic and compassionate person I am today! Her love her her boys will forever remain in their hearts and guide them through life’s adventures.

Lindsay, we were blessed to have known you, even if it was for a short time. Your smile and warmth will be remembered by all who knew you. Your love for your boys is something that I will always hold close to my heart. A Mother's love never fades and I know that you have them both wrapped in your arms so tight. xo

Sending much love to Lindsay's family and friends. I have fond memories of sleepovers with Lindsay in elementary school (including failed attempts at backyard camping). While I lost touch with her after school, I'm not at all surprised to learn that she left such an indelible mark on her community.

There are no words to express the heartbreak of hearing this news. Lindsay was always kind, caring and thoughtful with every interaction we had. She loved those boys of hers beyond measure! I hope that in the days ahead, there is comfort in the memories and all the love she gave. She will be missed by all. Rest easy, Lindsay.

Lindsay was one of my first childhood friends in elementary school. She was the most happy, loving, kind girl anyone could ask for in a friend. Sending love and strength to her family, friends and her beautiful little boys. Rest in Peace Linds xo

My deepest condolences to Lindsay’s family, her gift of organ donation is a testament to her family’s selflessness and kindness, she will live on in a multitude of wonderful ways 💕

When I think of Lindsay, the first thing that comes to mind is her big and open heart, which she shared with anyone who was lucky enough to come into contact with her. I can still remember how the first time I met Lindsay, she immediately made me feel welcome and at ease with her warmth and infectious smile. A true nurturing disposition, even before the birth of her much loved boys, she was always taking care of those around her. The world was a better place for having her in it and she will be dearly missed.

Condolences to all who loved Lindsay. I will remember her as the best soccer player I ever had the pleasure of playing with. She was funny and kind hearted. We had a blast at many tournaments and late nights at the pub after soccer. So many cherished memories. Rest in peace Linds

A life taken far too soon. Lindsay was such a sweet and kind person. My thoughts are with her boys and the rest of the family as they navigate through these uncertain times. I'm grateful for the short time I got to know Lindsay. Forever in the hearts of many.

A tragic loss. My heart is heavy for all those that love you, especially your children. Thinking of the memories with you. May your soul be at peace. <3

Our deepest condolences to the Braiden and Blanchard family during this difficult time.

I have wonderful memories with Lindsay from elementary school, and as we met again in high school and beyond. Thinking of her boys, her close group of friends, and her family. When I think of Lindsay, I think of such a beautiful person. I know she will be so dearly missed by many.

Babe, I will love you and miss you forever. Words can not describe how devastated I am but I am also forever grateful. We came into each others lives and made each others lives better and brought out the best in each other. We had tons of plans for our future and even our anniversary which is on the same day as the celebration of life. We always told each other we were the best thing that’s ever happened to each other (besides the boys of course) and we both knew that was true. I’m so glad I told you every day how beautiful you are and how much I love you and how much you meant to me. You would do the same. Even in our last convos together we were kissing each others hands and telling each other how much we love each other and that we are the loves of each others lives and that will always stand true. Our love, like you said “was written in the stars and we both were looking at the same stars wishing for what we had” and will stand the test of time. Thank you so much for giving me the privilege to love you and be loved by you on a level neither one of us have experienced before and be a family with you and the boys. I will continue to be in the boys lives and stay part of the family. Until we meet again. Rest in peace baby girl.

Lindsay I will miss your happiness and your joy that you brought to all your students here at Tweedsmuir public school. You knew how to listen and how to meet students where they were. I will miss our chats and check ins. Heaven had gained an angel 😇

Lindsay will be always be remembered as a beautiful spirit and light. I remember her growing up as my fun, adventurous niece who always had a big smile on her face. She was always ready to join in the cousin fun and participate 100 percent. She grew up to become a wonderful woman, daughter, cousin, and friend to many, as well as and a loving mother. She was loved by so many. She will always hold a special part in my heart. I love you Lindsay love Aunt Sharon ❤️

Our deepest condolences and thoughts go out to Pete, Jamie and your entire family during this extremely difficult time. Lee
