A lot of you have asked about good ways to share stories. Troy asked that I set up this post; please respond in the comments sections with stories YOU have about Hyatt that you would like to share.
thank you.

I (Troy's brother Pete) have opened this site to provide updates for friends and family on Hyatt's condition. As a warning, there will be explicit details on her condition and some posts may not be for the feint of heart. Troy has asked that I do this, so that someday (soon!) Hyatt can read the details of exactly what happened.

I live behind Hyatt and have liked her from the moment I met her. Also, ironically, I used to be an event/meeting planner for Hyatt Hotel!! So it was kismet that we were meant to be buddies!
We saw Hyatt take Kayla out every day in the back yard, and I always told her that I was going to send our dog, Miller, over to Troy's boot camp because Kayla was SUCH a well behaved doggie!
There have also been quite a few times that our neighborhood power has gone out and quite a few of those were when Hy was pregnant with either Sidney or Beckah...I would always call over there, to make sure they were alright and that they had plenty of candles and flashlights... My daughter , LIndsey and I would watch through the windows, waiting on the phone with her until flash lights could be found... then Lindsey, 6 months older than Sid, would have fun flashing the lights into Hyatt's windows and watching them walk around with their flashlights...
Oh how I have been thinking that those were such fun problems to have and how I wish that Hyatt would wake up and we could play flashlights again...
Much Love and Peace,
Margaret, Lindsey, Jamie and Rich Asbell
Hyatt and I met when she was at EPA and I was so saddened to hear this news. Just wanted to let you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, I have a ton of stories that show how sweet and generous she is, what a loving and dedicated mother she is, and so on. However, I chose the following story because Troy is in it, and it demonstrates Hyatt's great sense of humor.
I think we had this conversation at my baby shower. The other ladies were talking about some of their tv show addictions. Hyatt and I lamented that when we had time to watch tv, our husbands always had on some "nerdy" program, like "Modern Marvels" or "Myth Busters."
She told the story of how once Troy was watching Modern Marvels and he excitingly called her attention to the tv. She said he exclaimed something like, "Look, look at that big hole!!! That thing is HUGE!" "Yes dear, that IS a big hole." was Hyatt's response.
From then on out, if Hyatt caught Troy watching, tv she would say, "Are you watching "Big Holes" again, Honey?" "Oooo, let's watch "Big Holes!" (Said with her wonderful accent!)
She has such a funny sense of humor and I just love her playful laugh. We both admitted to each other at the party that we DO kinda like "Big Holes" ourselves, but it’s more that we really love our nerdy “boys.”
BTW, Does the hospital have cable? "Big Holes" might be on!
I don't personally know Hyatt or her family. I am a member of the church that the Moms and Kids group used Saturday night for their prayer vigil for Hyatt. We prayed for Hyatt during our church service Sunday morning. Hyatt has also been added to our church's email prayer chain, along with a link to her blog.
I am praying for Hyatt and for her family. I can't begin to imagine the emotions you all are feeling, but am glad to know you all are believers in Christ. God is with you through this. May He bless you all with the peace that can only come from Him.

Let me first say that Julia and I are praying every day for this wonderful family. Among the many gifts God has given all of us, two of the most profound are love and faith. And, that is what we are leaning on right now.
My wife Julia and I met Troy and Hyatt in 1998 at, of all places, a square dance in Ann Arbor. By design, square dances require you to mix it up with other couples, and courteous smiles between us grew to a conversation and an instant connection. At the end of the evening we exchanged numbers and actually followed up with one another.
Through the next two years we got together often for dinner, games, dances, and just to hang out. We had so much fun with Hyatt and Troy. I've always been taken by the love that they exhibited for one another. It was infectious and great to be around.
I also remember fondly a camping trip we all took to western Michigan. Between cooking corn in the can, breaking out the adult drinks too early in the day, and ending up in our neighbors campground playing some obscure drinking game with "presidents" in the title we had a ball.
As it happens in life, we haven't kept in touch with Hyatt and Troy as much as would like to have. But our time together in Michigan was so special. Hyatt is a wonderful, beautiful person who makes you feel special when she smiles at you.
I'm not going to lie. I'm terribly sad right now. This is a heartbreaking situation. But, I do have great love for Troy and Hyatt and I have faith in God and Jesus Christ. Troy, if you need anything, brother, we will be honored to help. We love you and are praying for Hyatt, you, and the girls.
Don't know you or Hyatt but wanted to let you know you have the entire community behind you, praying for you, and mobilizing to help support you. There are people accross the DC area looking for ways to help. There are people as far away as Seattle WA that I know of looking to help and pray for you and your family. Know that you may not know all of us but we are praying for you and with you. Most of us are probably shedding tears to share in your sorrow and Hoping beyond all hope for a miracle for you. Trust in God because he has reached out to the world for you.
I have the great pleasure of being able to call Hyatt a friend from high school. In fact, we briefly dated. She, very wisely, figured out that we were much better friends than boyfriend/girlfriend.
I have the great sadness of not having made the opportunity to catch up with her in almost a decade or so.
In all of my interactions with her when I was able to spend time with her, she was a beacon of light in an otherwise dark and dreary day. I have no doubt that her sense of hope and joy of life shines through everything she does.
When I met Troy (way back when - I don't know if you even remember, Troy), I thought he was one of the luckiest, most blessed men in the world because he has such an amazing and strong woman to love and to love him.
We have no clue what the future holds, and we can't live in the past. We must seize every moment as if it were our last. Hyatt is just the kind of person to show us how this is done.
Keep fighting. Keep loving. Know that God is with you in the light and the shadow. You are loved.

Many memories, but lately what comes to mind is the balcony at Myrtle Beach senior year, Hyatt and Leah harmonizing, singing "Strange Fire" by the Indigo Girls.
I come with a softer answer
To the questions that lie in your path
I want to harbor you from the anger
Find a refuge from the wrath
This is a message
A message of love
Love that moves from the inside out
Love that never grows tired
I come to you with strange fire.
My daughter attends Haymarket Baptist and we have been praying for you and your family ever since we heard--my heart just simply goes out to you -- Each time I read one of your posts it has the effect that you were hoping for -- appreciation for all the time that we have been given and I have your wife to thank for that--God Bless you and your family now and always
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace for you and your family now and I am sure God has brought Hyatt peace. Keep her alive in your heart and talk about her often to your children. They will love her through your love for her. I pray for healing and hope for your and all of your friends and family.
My parents and I attend the same mass where Troy and Hyatt sing the chorus. It's going to be so hard for me to go to church and not see Hyatt's beautiful smile. She was such a great person, a great mother, a great wife, and I will truly miss her. I'm so sorry for your loss.
God Bless
Anna
