The Inspiration Behind Lindsay Smiles

I started my non-profit organization in memory of my daughter Lindsay, who was born with Down syndrome, and passed away due to a heart defect in 1987. My book, Lindsay Smiles, written in 2023, was created with the inspiration on how Lindsay’s life would have been by telling a story of a young girl who always keeps smiling, because it makes her and all those around her feel better.
