Remembering Lindsay and Jessica
Last November, a car accident killed Flagler students Lindsay Chain and Jessica Kaufman. On Oct. 19 family, friends, and President William T. Abare. Jr. gathered at the site of the accident on I-95 in southern St. Johns County, to honor the two girls as roadside memorials were placed.
Plans for a candlelight vigil for the one-year anniversary of the accident are currently being made. For a date and time, check gargoyle.flagler.edu for updates as they become available.
I still think about Lindsay every day and every night. I miss her! I pray every night that she can stay by my side. I need her advice, her input, her opinions…. She was and will be my other half. My better half.
I do believe she’s in heaven looking down upon all of us. Waiting for us to reunite once again.

Jessica is in my mind every single day, the moment i wake up and right when i lay my head down on my pillow. The day i found out i was in the media center with all my close friends, not having a clue what our administration was going to tell us. The news shocked me. My heart broke. Jessica is the most amazing person i know, she was always so full of life and always laughing, i hear her something laughing. Its contagious you know. I see a butterfly and i know she is right by me. Seriously, God took the best angel ever. It was way too soon, but God has her in a better place, looking down on all of us, taking care, protecting. She is truly an angel. I know she is always thinking of us, when she left she took a little piece of all of us. I was so blessed to have her in my life the time i did, middle school and highschool. She made it fun, she made evereyone smile. Sure we had our ups and downs, but we always worked things out. Jessica is beautiful she is a person to never be forgotten. I will never forget her. I keep her spirit alive within me everyday. Its hard. But i know shes looking down on me.
RIP Jess.

It’s been almost two years, still miss her.
Lindsay now not a person, but just mearly a thought in all of our minds will always be deeply inbeaded in my soul. She was and still is the most important thing in my life. This past year I’ve felt her still with me, right here by my side.
I loved her and I still do very much. I believe that my life is taking a different path because of the past events last year. And Lindsay is the soul reason why I’m striving to better myself.
Please remember her and keep her spirit alive. I believe that if she were still here that’s what she would want.

I’m very shocked on what took place last year. I am SSgt Joshua Newton. I met “The BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYED” Lindsay through her brother. I pray for her parents and most of all her brother. Here is how a yankee met the most beautiful southern ANGEL.
I’ll never forget the morning I woke up and saw Lindsay sitting in the chair next to her parent’s couch, wondering who the “good looking guy” sleeping on the couch was. Lindsay’s brother and I went through TACP together in the Air Force and like Lindsay, her brother, Brandon was so generous in taking me to his parent’s home in Alabama. Over the next two months, she would call Brandon, asking him to bring me home. I loved Lindsay like a friend and I was hurt when I had to go away and leave her in Alabama. We remained close til on wk-end I didn’t recieve a call. And now, over a year later, I know why! newt0076@msn.com
Lindsay, I love you and always will.

Jessica Kaufman went to my high school and was really good friends with my sister. Today i woke up and just started crying as if i just heard about accident for the first time. Today at school i thought i could hear her voice in the halls and realized it was all in my head. I cant believe that a person that was so full of life is gone. God, i miss her. She was declared the social butterfly of our school and in rememberence of her we released butterflies as if her soul was flying free. She will truly be missed.
Lindsay Chain was my roommate at Flagler during the 2004-05 year. I loved her like a little sister, and I honestly mean that. We were “partners in crime” together… the two bad asses of our dorm building. Tomorrow would have been her twenty first birthday, November 11, 2006, which I know that she had been in intense anticipation for.
Lindsay’s number one libation of choice was Southern Comfort, and she drank it like water. So tomorrow night, when you’re out partying at Panama Hatties, or All Stars, or Dunes, or the Gator, or where ever you are, order some shots of soco for you and your friends and make a toast to our departed party girl.
I love her and I miss her, I think about her every day. So this Saturday night is for Lindsay Chain, celebrating her would-be 21st birthday.
And Please Please Please drive safely!!!!
