Dr. Robert E. Lyon

Gail and family:

Dr Lyons saw my dad through open heart surgery in 1991. Then in 1997, he helped us deal with dad's cancer until his passing on Dec 28. He served our family with devotion truly above and beyond the call of duty. His memory will be cherished.

Gail and family, I am so sorry o hear about Bobby passing away. I am his cousin Jean Sosebee Carrell. I am sorry that I have not seen him in many years. I know he was a wonderful man and Has blessed many people. God bless you. Jean

I am saddened to learn about your loss of your loved one, Dr. Robert Lyon, a most compassionate Christian and devoted Physician in your community.
I,only, knew him as a very young boy but have kept up with him via his Mother, Dessie. My sister was married to Dessie's brother John Sosebee. I knew his Grandmother Lyon and Grandmother Sosebee as well as other members of both families. My niece, Jean Sosebee Carrell is Bob's first cousin.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your wonderful memories bring you comfort.

I had the honor to work with Bob for about 20 years taking care of and operating on many of his patients. He was truely a devoted physician, husband and father and devoted 100% of his energy to everything he did. Bastrop, it's residents and his patients are and were very fortunate to have him as their physician and friend. Many times when I talked with him on the phone-whether he called me about referring a patient or I was calling him to give him a report-I heard the chimes of the clock in his office. I will always remember him anytime I hear a clock chime. He will be dearly missed.

We are praying for God's Holy Spirit and your precious memories to comfort you during this most difficult time. May the love of family and friends surround you all today and in the days ahead. Bob will certainly be missed. - Pat, Jeff, Pam & Makenzie

Dear Gail, We are praying for your family now and want you to know we share your loss.

Love, in Jesus,
your cousin, Beverly Martin Morgan

Just wanting you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Dr. Lyon was truly a unique individual. I saw him just last Tuesday comforting the family of Mr. McKinney as he passed away. Although times might not have been great for him, he never forgot that others needed him. We count it a blessing to have had the opportunity to know him on earth and now looking forward to seeing him again in heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Dr. Lyon. He was the physician for both of my parents (Vivian & George Love). Dr. Lyon has been a beloved doctor to them because of the great care he gave (including the early detection of an aortal hernia which literally saved my dad's life). I only met Dr. Lyon once, when I was visiting my parents and my daughter accidentally "hooked" my finger while we were fishing. He walked in the room wearing cowboy boots and a white coat! (not what I was expecting) Of course, he removed the hook without a problem, assuring me that he had performed this procedure many times before.
May God bless his family and close friends during this difficult time. I hope that his family will be comforted by the outpouring of love from the many people whose lives he touched in such a meaningful and caring way.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of grief. Dr. Lyon will be greatly missed in our community. He took such good care and special interest in my Daddy (Gene Wise) and I will always be grateful to him for that. Dr. Lyon and Daddy will be sharing their first Christmas together in Heaven.

I would like to offer our prayers and sympathies to you at this time. Dr. Lyon was the caretaker for so many of our family members. He was a special person and will be sorely missed.

Gail and Family,
I was a patient of Dr. Lyon for some time. I am so sorry and you are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a very nice doctor and a caring one, too.

Gail, Matt, and Jason,
Brett and I were so glad to see Doc on Monday and be able to visit with him. He will be greatly missed by so many people, those that he touched greatly. He was always there for his patients, that's why they all loved him. I know words cannot soothe the grief you all are feeling now, but knowing he's in Heaven walking with our Lord is the best comfort we can all have. I enjoyed the many years I worked with him and that he took care of Brett, me and the rest of my family. May God comfort and bless all of you. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Pam and Brett Chambers

Gail and Family,
I am in Boston with my family but I will certainly have you in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. You know that Dr. Lyon was loved by so many and he touched so many both medically and spiritually. His life on earth was a wonderful testiment to others. He will be greatly missed, but he is rejoicing in Heaven with his Creator.
