Matt, Joe, Bobbie, and Caleb,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had the opportunity to meet Lyndsay Jo only once but she was so very warm and kind, just like her parents. What wonderful teachers Joe and Bobbie are to teach their children to be so caring. I cannot imagine how difficult this time must be. I will be thinking of and praying for you all. God Bless You.

Bobbie,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember how proud you were of all of Lyndsay's accomplishments. The stories you shared of a young and precious child growing up made all of us smile as we worked alongside you. I know this must be the most difficult time. I will be thinking of you and your family.

I was sadden to hear of the passing of your daughter Lyndsay. She was always kind and had a smile. I remember one hot summer day she brought me a glass of water as she was sure that it was too hot for me. I remember her coming to watch her brother play soccer. My heart goes out to you all.

I am humbled to have had the privilege of
working with, and getting to know LJ over the
last couple years. Her caring compassion for her
patients and coworkers speaks to the heart that
was LJ, and her wit, charm and humor made one
look forward to spending time with her. Our
WDH family has suffered a great loss, which no
doubt pales in comparrison to the loss Matt and
the rest of the family is enduring. Our hearts are
breaking with yours. Love and prayers to you all.

My Mom and I met LJ on her very first day working on the floor at WDH. She had just driven up from Texas with her dog. She was also my Mom's nurse in the ICU in early December. LJ's lovely smile and calm, caring manner helped get my mother through her stay and back home to us. Just knowing that LJ was taking care of her made me feel secure about leaving for the night. My Mom is at home with hospice care now. Perhaps she'll be back in LJ's loving hands soon. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrixson, I'm sure you realize what a gift your daughter was to this world. My entire family is grateful for your wonderful daughter. She will always hold a special place in our thoughts and our hearts.

Bobbie,
So sorry to hear the sad news about Lyndsay. My heart goes out to you for your precious loss. I too, have felt the unbearable pain of losing a child, at 26. Suddenly, your whole world has changed! But, remembering all the wonderful times you shared together will always comfort you. And at times such as this, may the God of Love, who never causes what is bad to happen, sustain you with His promise of Hope! By asking, He will give you the power beyond what is normal to sustain you thru your intense sadness.

Bobbie, Joe, Matt and Caleb-

Words can never adequately express human emotion, especially the depth of emotion you must be feeling right now. We never had the honor to know Lyndsay in this life, although we heard many positive attributes she exhibited in life. Words fails us. There are so many questions as to why a life so young would be extinguished before fully lived. There must be a reason. As Scripture says, all things work together for good for those who love him. At a time such as this, it's hard to figure out the good. After all, this must seem like an excrutiatingly difficult pain to bear. Please know you and your entire family are in our prayers and will be in the coming days, weeks and months.

Love Always,

Marc and Julie Anderson

Lyndsay was one of the finest people I have ever known. I was her orchestra teacher in high school, and when she entered the class, her smile lit up the room. Her gentle sweet soul was evident in the way she led her life every single day.All of us are better because she touched our lives. Her time with us was way too short, but her presence made a huge difference. I, and many others, will always carry her deep in our hearts.
