Leave Them With Lindsay - LTWL

11/29/2021

An open letter from my bruised & broken heart to yours ❤️‍🩹

I’ve avoided making a post directly about you, because I don’t want to openly show how deeply devastated I am, and just how angry at the world I’ve become. Lindsay Ryan, you weren’t just my boss, or my business partner. You were the woman that introduced me to the beautiful side of pet care that I now know as my life’s passion. You taught me animal behavior and how to deal with clients. You showed me how to communicate in difficult situations (which I’m still working on 😂). You are my mentor when I make business decisions, financial decisions, social decisions, personal life choices, and even when my emotions are sailing and I simply need a calm voice to be there. All those phone calls that would last 2-3 hours. You always answered my calls. I can still hear your voice “what’s up buttercup?” Or “what’s up kiddo?”. I can still hear your voice in my head clear as day. You were my second mom but we kept that joke hush-hush because of our ages haha… you welcomed me into your home and to your family parties. You welcomed me with open arms into your personal life with your closest friends. You showed me unconditional love even when I was being my most difficult self. You NEVER even so much as hesitated to help me when I was in need. You didn’t just tell me, but you showed me what a truly STRONG woman looked like. As cliche as it sounds you were my rock, my stability in life. Over the last 5 years we’ve spent countless hours achieving our goals and dreams, and growing together in life. I’ve lost friends, family, pets, but none of it compares to the pain of losing my North Star. I couldn’t imagine giving up LTWL, but how do I continue without you?.. it was you and me. Against the world. Now it’s just me, and I still feel your presence everywhere I go. Every single clients house has bits of you. Every dog I care for, I can see pieces of you in their eyes. I never thought I’d be leading Leave Them With Lindsay without Lindsay… it doesn’t feel right. And I don’t think it ever will. But living under your name has been the single best thing I’ve done with my life so far. And I promise you I won’t let the world forget your name, Lindsay Ryan.

LTWL Family,
I am brokenhearted to announce the passing of our beloved founder and owner, Lindsay Ryan. After a heartbreaking battle with cancer, she passed peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, November 20 surrounded by those that loved her.

As many of you know, Lindsay was truly a one-of-a-kind person that made friends wherever she went. She worked tirelessly to turn her passion into a career and build Leave Them With Lindsay into what it is today. She had the ability to find common ground with anyone and everyone, so naturally many of her clients became her friends. We know she is reconnecting with all of her past clients and four-legged friends, especially her beloved Jack and Largo.

A note from her mother and Cedric (our Chief Furry Officer) is below:

“Cedie and I would like to thank everyone who sent their well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers, especially those that visited Lindsay and showed her how much of a difference she made to so many. In true Lindsay fashion, she was bringing people together to the very end, and it warms our hearts to see so many new friendships developing.

We thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers, and will share funeral arrangements as they are finalized. To say she will be missed is understatement.

All our love,
Denise and Cedie”

As mentioned above, the details of Lindsay’s funeral arrangement will be announced as soon as they’re finished. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. I’m sure most of you have questions regarding Leave Them With Lindsay and what will happen to the business, there will be another post coming to answer all of your questions. For now let’s all focus on grieving and healing together in Lindsays name. ❤️‍🩹

LTWL Family,

Thank you SO much to everyone who has donated to Lindsay’s gofundme, to anyone who has participated near or far in her fundraiser this past weekend, and above all thank you to everyone who has continually sent their support to everyone involved! The turnout on everything has been astounding. We reached our goal for the memorial plaque in front of her favorite spot at the Cleveland Zoo! Lindsay would have been so touched to see the turnout this weekend. Again, I cannot thank you all enough! ❤️‍🩹

With Love,
Alex

LTWL Family,

I have typed and retyped this over and over and there just aren’t any words right enough because this just isn’t right at all.

Please prepare yourself, I wish this was not the news I was reporting, but our beloved Lindsay has just been diagnosed with a fatal brain cancer. She will be leaving all of us soon. I know this is beyond devastating and has probably just sent shivers down your spine. I cannot express to you how sorry I am that we are all experiencing this, especially our Lindsay. If any of you would like to help, below there is a link to her gofundme. Her donations will all be transitioned to help with palliative care to keep her comfortable, and end of life expenses, thank you everyone. ❤️‍🩹

ATTN; today is a special day and I’m about to explain why..

Lindsay,
After so many years of putting up with each other I have learned NUMEROUS things.
1. Use your resources before you freak out.
2. Don’t freak out. 😂
3. Skunk smell does not go away for a long time...
4. Wind can, and will, open gates. And then “who let the dogs out” will be the theme song for the day.
5. Car problems are inevitable, even on new vehicles.
6. Always double check for the things you need for the day before driving 45 minutes away.
7. Sleep is for the wicked.
8. Animal care is not for the lighthearted or those that can’t handle 💩.
9. Honesty and Effort are key.
10. Chase what you love, manifestation is real if you work for it.

All the great memories that come with each lesson learned is something I’ll never forget. I have to admit that neither I nor this company would be what we are today without you. You’ve put countless hours into this business and to myself personally. And I can’t express my gratitude for both. ❤️ LTWL and I thank you for everything you do! ...

My next thank you is to all our clients who continue to rely on us day in and day out! We wouldn’t be here without you.❤️ your love and support is what makes this possible and that’s something we will never give up on because that’s what makes this dream paw-ssible! 🐾

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSAY WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! 🥳 🎈 🎁 🎂
