Lyndsay Biccum was a lifelong Angel.  In her teen years, she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a life-threatening genetic disease that causes mucus to build up in the lungs and other organs.  Lyndsay received a successful double lung transplant and was able to return to the game of hockey that she loved.  Lyndsay worked in Ottawa in the health field, conducting house visits to patients.  A few years after the transplant, her body started to reject her lungs.  Unfortunately, her body developed major medical issues, and she lost her battle.  Lyndsay was a fighter to the end and her memory will not be forgotten.
