Sad day at the Lyon house
 

I don't know why I am putting this on here. But many of you I consider friends even though we have never met. My second oldest daughter (50 ) died early this morning of a massive infection. She had just gone to the hospital yesterday, Apparently nothing they could do. She was a great one and would make any parent proud. If you have children cherish them and always let them know how you feel. Thanks for listening. Bill

Sorry for your loss Bill, god speed.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news, Bill. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child. You have my heartfelt sympathy. Norm

So sorry to hear of this Bill, and so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine. I have one son and he is 7 now. I should have passed away in 2007, but for you to out live your children...I am so very sorry to hear of this. I hope you and your family can find comfort and peace in your souls.

Very sorry to hear this Bill. Lots of strength to you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear this Bill, you have my condolences and sympathy.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Prayers sent.

Parents do not expect to outlive their children.

This is extremely sad news, Bill. Our thought and Prayers are with you and your family.

No Parent should have to endure the loss of a child.

Oh Bill, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words fail me. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Neil

May God comfort you and your family in this tragic and terrible loss Bill. I will keep you in my prayers.

My condolences on your loss!

I just lost my father two monthes ago and that was tough, I can't imagine (and don't want to) what it would be like to lose a child!

Thank you all for your kind words. I hope and pray none of you have to experience this. I thought I had a lot of hurt in my life. I didn't even know what hurt meant. Thanks friends Bill

Bill,

My most heartfelt condolence. You are and will be in my thoughts as you and your family go through this. Our society doesn't prepare us well for this kind of loss...

I also lost a relative this way several years ago. I know it's sudden, and so unexpected.

Marc

Bill, my good friend, gosh, I am so sorry for your loss!

It is awful, i am just sick hearing of it and glad you posted it.

We share in your grief and Terry and my blessings and heartfelt love goes to you and your wife.....

Bill, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My best wishes to all of your family in these terrible times. John

Bill, I wish with all my heart that there was something I could say that might help in some very small way but of coarse there is not. I will pray for you and your family that the Lord will bring you through your grief a stronger person. I also have a Daughter nearly that age and after reading your post I called her just to remind her how much I love her. For a loving parent, to lose a child must be the worst pain imaginable. May God bless you and your family, Bill.

Lonnie

Sorry to here of your loss. My best wishes to you.

Bill, I'm very sorry, you have my deepest condolences. A terrible thing to endure.

All my best to You and Mary...

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

Bless you

Oh God, Bill... as a father I can't even imagine the feel of such loss.
My condolences on your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

Mr Bill, you are our friend, and i too wish to join the other forum members in offering my heartfelt condolence to you and your family. As a military chaplian part of my duty is to comfort those who mourn, not that i am very good at it, but i try. Right now you must be in a place where you feel the pain of your loss and it seems overwhelming, but it is by grace that you will get through it. Untill i became a chaplain i never really understood the emotion of grief. Grief is a very powerfull emotion , because it is love not wanting to let go. My prayers are with you as well as your friends on the forum, let the love of God encompass you as you find peace and rest in his grace, if there is anything i may do for you and your family just let me know . Regards and much respect Padre Dan

Bill,

I know how you feel about the friends we have not yet met aspect of our forum community because my feelings are similar. The sharing of your grief with us brings us all together to help as best we can. I hope you can extract some comfort from our feeble attempts in this time when all seems inconsolable.

You definitely have my condolences, but please also accept my thanks. This sharing has provided me, at least, with a valuable reminder: Tomorrow is promised to no one, so, for anyone who loves anybody (parents, children, friends)--Love 'em while we've got 'em and while we're here; and don't keep it a secret.

Peace be with you.

Bill,
The Lord has blessed me and my wife with three sons. In addition, we now have eight grandchildren. It is beyond my imagination what it is like to lose a child. I know words can never express our heart felt sorrow for you and your family. Hopefully you can find solace in the fact that she is in a better place and one day you and she will be united once again.

Just received this picture and thought I would share - two daughters; Kathy is on the left. We have three daughters and two sons.

Bill,

You have my deepest sympathy, and you and your family will be in my prayers. Life can be cruel, in our way of thinking. We just don't know the "big plan" of things.

Bill:

My sympathy in your loss and pain.

I read this yesterday - and again - I'm at a loss for words... All I can say is, at this time in your loss, I hope you feel the embrace of God and all your friends. We, all of us - have you and your family in our hearts and prayers.

Sincerest condolences doesn't really cut it - in a time such as yours, Rather, better said...

From Jen and I, to you and yours....

We are so sorry...

If prayers have wings - then, angels carry our prayers... And today? There is a choir of angels singing the prayers sent to your daughter...
