BILLS Tailgating Event this Sunday - For Lindy

[Blondie]

Not sure how many of you all are aware, but Coastal and I have a very good friend who recently lost her sister in a domestic violence shooting down here in Florida. He name is Lindy, and is originally from Buffalo, NY. This Sunday is a Tailgating event to help raise money for the family. Sharing this here, because you are all Buffalo family. If anyone is going to the game this Sunday and tailgating please help support this family!

Thank you,
The Nelson's (aka Coastal and Blondie)

I don't mean to be flippant, but please tell me that's not the guy in the picture.

No it's not. Lindy's friend's husband killed Lindy and her friend an hour after he was in court being told to have no contact with his wife for a period of one year.

its not about him though.

its about this family that was forever changed. Buffalo is a great city and a place I hope to move back to someday. The victim grew up in Kenmore. Her dad coached UB hockey for years. I coach his grandson. His grandson is best friends with my son. Lindy was his aunt.

This is is very personal and if anyone from here can go and support this cause, Mario included, it would be very much appreciated.

Those attending the game won't be able to support the event since it is being held at a different venue, unless I'm reading the poster wrong, or donations are being accepted via other means. Hope they get a huge turnout from the community, though.

Hello all ...

Thank you for posting this flyer and for offering comments of support. I am actually one of the organizers for the event and a long time friend of the family (I have known them since grammar school). I frequent this board as a viewer but really don't post much. It was obviously a bit of a surprise when I came across the posting

If you want or need further info about how you might be able to help then please feel free to communicate through this thread and I'd be glad to help :)

Thanks again!

This is SOOO awesome!!

I was hoping someone on this board would know this family or was aware of the situation.

So glad I did this now!!

How awful.

[Blondie]

How awful.

Here is ONE story of what happened ... doesn't have too many details, but you get the drift of what happened.

She was just being a supportive friend to a woman trying to get away from her abusive husband.
