William Elijah Lyon, affectionately dubbed Liam,
was born February 18, 2011 at 3:25am to Whitney and Brody Lyon in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. He was a perfect size weighing 6 lbs and
measuring 19 inches long. Liam was
quickly diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and in the short time
that Liam was here, he changed the world we live in. His story of love and courage crossed borders
and continents as he traveled to various hospitals across the country in an
effort to save his life. He has touched
the lives of tens of thousands on his Facebook page, I Love Liam Lyon. On September 3, 2012, despite his courageous
fight, the efforts of countless medical personnel and the prayers of thousands,
Liam earned his wings while in the loving arms of his mommy and daddy.

To Whitney, Brody, Cheyanne and all the family of Liam Lyon, you will be forever in our hearts and prayers.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow, for
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
but love leaves a memory no one can steal.
I miss Liam as if he were my own. Your little Lyon brought so many together. He truly IS a miracle. Please know that he's changed my life forever and I'll always be grateful for you sharing him with us. Please know that your family is still in our prayers and we hope that having another guardian angel helping out your daily struggles comforts you. It was an honor to get to know and share your family. Thank you so much!
Dawn G.
