† My Heart Outside My BodyFrom Mommy, Ñl·h Eˆde¯¯ LÐeI have taught you to be in the world, but not of the world —to bea leader, not a follower. To letGodguide your steps, because He has already orderedyour path. The road before you is blessed and bright,and no one can take from you what God has destined for you.You are determined. You work hard. You rise to every challenge. You have been pressurized, but you are adiamond in the making — unbreakable, beautiful, and strong. You are going to be a fierce advocate forwhat is right, a voice for those who cannot speak, and a light in places that need hope.It has been my greatest honor to raise you. I thank God for the family and friends who have poured intoyou — the village that has helped shape the extraordinary young woman you have become.Now you continue a legacy that began generations before you, following in the footsteps of your greatgrandfather, who retired from North Carolina Central University. And soon, you will walk across thatsame campus, carving your own path — full of purpose, faith, and strength.You have surpassed every expectation I could have ever imagined. You are smarter, stronger, and moregraceful than I was at your age. I pray that God continues to protect you, guide you, and bless you inevery decision you make. Do not ever live for me — live for yourself, and live for God.I am so proud of you, my beautiful dancer, my scholar, my leader, my everything. You are my heart,and I love you more than life itself.Love always, Mommy „Lyndsey, you are — and will always be — my hearton the outside of my body. You have been mymotivation even when you did not know it. You havemade me want to be a better mother, a better friend,and a better person, because I have always knownthat your little eyes were watching me. Every choice Ihave made, I have made hoping to show youstrength, faith, and integrity — even in the momentswhen I fall short.We are inseparable — partners in laughter, in faith,and in love. You have gotten me through some of thehardest times of my life, even without realizing it. Yoursmile, your kindness, and your unwavering spirithave lifted me more than words can say.You are thoughtful, obedient, and full of grace.You love God, and He shines through you. Onnights when I forget to pray, you are the one whotakes my hand and reminds me to talk to Him. Yourheart is gold —always thinking of others, alwayshelping, always giving.


Proudly celebrating my daughter, Lyndsey, on her Cotillionjourney. Here is to a future filled with protection, purpose,and endless possibilities. — Dad, New York Life Insurance.


In Loving Memory of Our MatriarchMrs. Margaret B. PeaceForever Loved, Forever RememberedThere are women whose love shapes generations — whose faith, strength, and devotion leave animprint that time can never erase. For our family, that woman was Mrs. Margaret B. Peace — ourmatriarch, our teacher, and our angel.Grandma believed in family, faith, education, and community. She worked tirelessly to ensurethat each of us could succeed — reminding us to stand tall, live with respect, and advocate forourselves and others. She led with love, loyalty, and a deep sense of fairness. She showed her heartthrough her cooking, her laughter, and her unwavering belief in doing good for others.Though she passed the same year that Lyndsey was born, we know she stayed just long enough to holdher, love her, and leave her spirit in her. So many people have said how much Lyndsey reminds themof her — and we know it is true. Grandma’s presence walks beside her every day. They say you dietwice — once when you leave this earth, and again when your name is no longer spoken. ButMargaret B. Peace will always live on through us — in our words, our deeds, and our love for oneanother. Her values guide us still, and her legacy shines through Lyndsey, who carries her spiritproudly into the future.Honorable. Loyal. Loving. Fair. Faithful. Unforgettable.You will always be our heart, our angel, our matriarch.~The Peace Family~

THE BRIDGES-HUNTER LEGACYHonoring Our Roots and the Spirit That Lives OnWe give honor to our beloved ancestors — our pillars of faith, family, and perseverance.Through their love and sacrifices, generations were built and dreams were realized.The values they lived by — hard work, integrity, unity, and love — continue to shape who weare today.While we could not include every cherished member of our family, this tribute is shared inhonor of the Bridges-Hunter Family, whose roots run deep in faith, love, and legacy.Their spirit lives on in Lyndsey, as she continues the legacy of grace, resilience, andexcellence that they began.We are because they were.In loving memory of the Bridges-Hunter Family — whose light still guides our path.


Honoring Our Patriarch — Granddaddy, 104 Years StrongWe are deeply blessed to have our Granddaddy — the heart and patriarch of our family — stillleading us with wisdom, faith, and love. At 104 years young, soon to be 105, he continues toinspire us all with his strength, his clarity of mind, and his unwavering devotion to God and family.For Lyndsey, having her great-grandfather in her life is an incredible gift. She treasures theirtalks — listening closely as he reminds her to put God first, make decisions that are pleasingto Him, stay focused, and always do her best. It is rare and beautiful to witness a greatgrandparent pouring such wisdom into a child — and just as beautiful to see a child wholistens, values, and honors that guidance.Granddaddy retired from North Carolina Central University more than forty years ago, and itfills our hearts with gratitude to know he has lived to see his great-granddaughter soon attendthe very same university he once served.To see the bond between one of the youngest and the oldest in our family — the joy, therespect, the shared laughter, and care — is truly special. Lyndsey cherishes every momentwith him: checking in, asking if he needs anything, and simply enjoying the blessing of hiscompany.We thank God every day for Granddaddy — for his health, his sound mind, his loving spirit,and the remarkable example he continues to set. We pray that God continues to keep himstrong, peaceful, and surrounded by the love of his family for years to come.We love you, Granddaddy — more than words can say.With all our hearts,Rishona & Lyndsey „Š A Living Legacy of Love and Wisdom
