By now most of you may have heard of the murder of our friend and former colleague, Lindsay Graygo, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Lindsay had worked for Logistics Plus for a couple of years before she left last year to pursue what she was trained to do at Penn State–marketing–taking a job at Splash Universe in Dundee, Michigan.

Lindsay Graygo

She was an absolutely wonderful person, one of those people who light up when they meet someone, who can carry on conversations with anyone, saying just the right thing for the occasion. She would also be up for almost anything–volunteering her time to do whatever needed to be done at work, helping out with others’ tasks when she had the time. In fact, when Logistics Plus was retained by Fluor Corp. the day after Hurricane Katrina hit, and we had to send a team down to Louisiana to help bring temporary housing into the distressed areas, Lindsay volunteered to go–roughing it–living with 4 other LP guys in a trailer, pitching in, helping keep spirits high–doing good and making us all proud.

She was beautiful, with the most exquisite eyes you’ve ever seen, and her smile could light up a room. She left LP and Erie with much love and many hugs and was off onto a new adventure. “Guest Relations Manager”–what better job for a people person like Lindsay. I heard from her that she loved working there, and I am sure that if I talked to her managers and co-workers, that they loved having her.

Our heart goes out to Lindsay’s parents, whom we got to know. There is no greater pain in life than losing a child. (and kids, you may not realize it, but even when you are 29 and long out on your own, you are still “our kids”). I think every parent, in some part of their being, lives life dreading something like this ever happening–I know I do. This is our worst nightmare. I can’t imagine how hard this is for them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Betty and Hank.

Please know that her Logistics Plus friends and family will remember Lindsay always as a wonderful, giving person, so fun to be around–so full of life, and of spirit.

“Dust thou art, to dust returnest, was not spoken of the soul”.

We will meet again someday, Lindsay.

Love always,

JB
