Nancy, JoAnn and I just today learned of Lyndon's death. Since the news, I have been reflecting on your numerous visits with us over the years as you and Lyndon returned to his beloved hometown of Worthington.

I remember one of the first times you came to our home in the 80's. Lyndon sat at the table and took off his prosthesis so he could massage his stump. Our labrador retriever got quite upset as she had never seen such a sight. That memory makes me smile. I am so grateful for the many ways Lyndon offered his gifts back to God. Wherever he found himself in God's world, Lyndon gave gifts that are still giving. He held back nothing. May Jesus Christ be praised.

It is with deep sorrow I learn of the death of Lyndon Brown, a humble servant of our Lord Jesus. May Our Lord comfort Nancy and his two daughters for this profound loss and sustain them in this difficult time. The prayers and thoughts of my family are with them today and always. Much love. Terry

My wife Pilar and I met Lyndon and his family during our public health studies at Hopkins University in 1988. We had just arrived from Peru and they were among our first friends in the United States. Through his experiences in Nepal, he encouraged me to pursue community-based public health as part of my professional track. Lyndon also connected me with Dory Storms and the PVO Child Survival Support Program. Seventeen years later and deeply involved with PVOs and community health, I honor the memory of the friend and the colleague who made a difference in my life.

I was privileged to have traveled with Lyndon Brown to India in March 2004. We were providing technical assistance to World Vision in the start up of a child health program. Because of Lyndon's diplomatic skills and ingenuity, we both got a chance to visit the Ganges River, one of the most holy sites in India. The picture you see of him is from this trip. Lyndon was a great spiritual person and loved to live life to its fullest. He also worked extremely hard to make the world a better, more healthy place for children and others in which to live. Just before he died, he worked tirelessly to contain the recent outbreaks of polio, and also began work at addressing the avian flu. To those of us who knew him or even met him for a short time, we will miss him. Right now, there are folks all around the world who are mourning his loss. Our hearts go out to Nancy and his two beautiful teenage daughters.

I had the greatest pleasure of working with Lyndon in Nepal as well as when he returned to the USA. He was such a remarkable person and we feel the immensity of our loss at his passing. Wherever Lyndon worked he fostered a special caring and peacefulness that "infected" everyone in his presence. He had gained a special place in our hearts and in our community which can not easily be filled again. We will miss him and think of him often. Please accepted our deepest condolences at your loss.
