Lindsay Ann Rickel, 32

June 8, 1982 - Sept. 17, 2014

In loving memory of little Miss Rickel.

So, if you knew her, you adored her. Share this and celebrate the amazing life that she lived! Share some love with the Rickels, Cathy and Ken. The best parents she could have ever had ...

So, if you knew her, you adored her. Celebrate the amazing life that she lived!

You lived a good life, Linds.

You broadened so many people's outlook on

what it means to be there

what it means to be patient

what it means to be special

what it means to be happy

what it means to be loved

and what it means to be a family.

You had a ton of fun adventures, little lady.

Flirted with a lot of men

Chased a lot of kitty cats

Won the hearts of so many preschool girls

Bottomed out your fair share of furniture with your super bouncing

Grabbed the arm of too many old men in public places

Drank gallons of vanilla Ensure

Took more naps then anyone could dream of

Wrinkled many a magazine and phone book

And you listened to a lot of gossip, and loved it.

You really knew how to~

Sing-a-long and follow the bouncing ball.

Tell people to be quiet when you were sleeping.

Make all drive-thru workers feel really good about their job.

Only scoop the good stuff from the bowl.

Ignore bossy people by just rubbing your ear ... for a really long time.

Celebrate a birthday!

Be so obnoxious just to get the car radio turned to the country station

Tell the difference between Pixar and Disney

Cheer loudly with all of your heart

Cuddle up with blankets, pets, and people, too

Wake up from a deep sleep when your favorite part of the movie was coming

And you really knew how to Persevere.

You were Dr. Phil's number one fan.

You were a nice neighbor.

You were a humane society volunteer.

You were an amazing big sister.

You were a beautiful, doted on, daughter.

And yes, we know ...

You were The Little Mermaid.
