Barry I don't even know where to begin, I cannot even imagine going through what you and your family have gone through. I do know that only through God will we find answers.
God Bless you and your family.
We love you man.

Barry,
It has been a long time since we have seen each other, but Marilyn Groce was in my store the other day and told me of your sad news. I cannot imagine losing one of my children, but I am familiar with grief, as I lost my husband, Victor, in April very suddenly. Just trust God and know that he is there and will help you through each day, and will only make you take one moment at a time. Your family is in our family's prayers.

Barry, I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your daughter. My prayers are with you and your family.

Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for as such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Words from our Lord. As I go back and remember the days of my childhood at Victory Baptist church, I remember Louise Wesson, I remember Lonnie and Sandra Callahan as friends and co-members of Glenview Baptist Church. I remember days of softball games with Jimmy & Steve, I remember family friends of Steve's, the Bennett's, the Estills'. I remember taking care of Jimmy & Barry's babies in the newborn nursery at Glenview. And then my heart breaks as I can only imagine the pain that your family carries today. I realize though, as I read about Lindsay's life, her testimony, her love for the Lord, that as her parents, her family, she met her God through you. It was easy to meet Him, to know Him because you brought her to Him. For Lindsay, it will be only a heartbeat before she is reunited with you again. For you, it will be so long, but I pray that you find comfort in God's grace and the realization that you were able to assist Him in a most precious miracle...and you will be with her again and for eternity. My prayers are with you all. Kathy McCain and Steve...

Steve and Diane,
I cannot imagine the grief you feel at the loss of this precious girl. I know you are thankful for her faith, and her love of God, but the earthly loss is still so overwhelming.

I'm sorry that we didn't know of the tragedy. We would have been by your side to give you support.
We send our love and prayers.

I read Lindsay's notice in the paper the other day and was really moved by her personal mission statement. I read it in church yesterday during our prayers. If we all could have a personal statement like hers and live it like God wants us to live, what a life it would be. I pray that she touched others with her statement as she has touched our church.

We are so sorry for your loss. Having not known Lindsay personally, I did not have the privilege of being around her. However, from what I've learned through praying for her, I feel a real connection to her. She was a beautiful Woman of God and I know that Father is saying 'well done My daughter'. May you be comforted during this difficult time. And, may you always hold on to the precious memories you had with her. We love you and continue to pray for your family.
Love,
Cathy & Don Thayer

To all of Lindsay's family and loved ones...
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Lindsay, but am a friend of Chris and Jennifer Banning and heard about her through them. Just reading about Lindsay in all of the guest book entries here, I am in tears about what a testimony of God's goodness and love she was to everyone she came into contact with. I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you all through this difficult time.

Dear Callahan Family, we were so sorry to hear of Lindsay's passing. We have been praying for you all and are still praying for God to hold you close and give you comfort as only He can.
We have many fond memories of our years in Texas and we miss you all.
We will continue to lift you up in prayer.

Dear Callahan Family:

I had the privilege of getting to know Lindsay through the youth group at The Met where I was a volunteer leader until our family moved to Kansas last year. Lindsay came each week with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. She always greeted me with a hug and worked with me greeting new students who would come to visit. I had the pleasure of watching her grow in her faith in Jesus through Life on the Rock and was always blown away by her maturity and her love for others. Lindsay was never so wrapped up in herself or her own friends to leave someone else standing alone - she wanted everyone to be a part of the group.

I know your hearts are breaking, but Lindsday is dancing in God's presence. My prayers are with you.

As parents of one of Lindsay's High School friends we would like to express our deepest condolences for your loss. We also want to express our gratitude and appreciation for the manner in which you allowed Lindsay's friends to be a part of this painful but spiritual lesson. Our daughter spent many hours at the hospital and she would always tell us how open and warm your family was with her and her friends. Thank you for letting them be a part of Lindsay's beautiful life and especially a part of her last two weeks here on earth.
Our love and prayers are with you,

I am Lindsay's cousin, Jamie, I had dinner wih a friend of mine tonight that was one of Lindsays nurse that cared for her just as she came in on care flight the night of her accident...she was truly heart broken that she had passed away but joyful in the fact that she was with her Lord Jesus. As we were having dinner another nurse from Harris hospital stopped by our table and a we were talking and she realized that I was Lindsay's cousin. She told me that almost every nurse and doctor were so touched by Lindsay and all of her friends and family...she started crying and said she had never felt this touched by a patient...everyone could not stop talking about her room full of pictures, letters, and stuffed animals that were brought to her. They all felt she was a such a special patient because of her Christ like touch she had on so many people. I will miss her everyday of my life but know that I will see her face to face someday in Heaven...thank you Jesus for that promise!!!

Dear Barry and Stacie,

We were devistated today when we heard of your loss. We know you feel a big hole in your hearts right now but God will fill that hole with precious memories. We can say this because we have experienced it and no one truly understands this hurt until it happens to them. To lose a child is our greatest sadness. Just remember that God will walk you through this loss. May He bless your entire family with a peace and understanding only He can provide.

With precious memories,
Jim and Barbara Lockhart

Lindsay served with me in our Middle School ministry at the Met church. She was my "High School Helper" and together we led an awesome group of 8th grade girlies....the girls are in 11th grade now & I know she made a lifelong impact on them & me. Her heart for serving was truly inspiring & she will be greatly missed. I stand in awe of all of the amazing young people that were such close friends of hers - GRACE covers them & you can see their strong FAITH even though no one can understand & this time is so very painful. I know God is telling her what I can only hope to hear someday...."Well done, good and faithful servant!" And well done to Lindsay's parents....she loved you so much & you raised an amazing & gifted, silly, fun daughter. I love you Sweet Lindsay!

I want to say that I regret having not met your precious Lindsey. I feel like I know her as Sandra has talked about her Lindsey and the other grandchildren quite frequently and requested prayer for each one of them. I know that she is experiencing the most awesome thing, meeting our Father God, His Son Jesus and experiencing heaven!

I am in the Womens Bible group at Cathy Thayers, and I know the family from Glenview Baptist Chruch. I have been praying for you and will continue.
