Our dear Friend, Daughter, Mother, Wife, passed away this evening. She died peacefully in Troy's arms and in the presence of her Mom and Dad. It has been a trying week for the family and friends who have stayed with Hyatt 24X7 since Monday.
We've been dreading this day for the last month. Hyatt will be missed terribly by many, but also celebrated as an amazing person.
Details about her funeral will be posted as soon as they become available.
Thank you all for your prayers,
Allen

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.

Dear Troy,
I have never met you or Hyatt, but over the past few months, you have become a part of my life. I have prayed for you and your family daily and cried with you. You are an inspiration and your love for your wife is limitless. May you find comfort in knowing that an angel has been called home.
I am so sorry to hear the news of Hyatt's passing. I will continue to pray for the ENTIRE family, especially for you, Troy and the girls. I hope that you find peace in the fact that she is now Home with God and at peace herself and will continue to watch over all of you.
May God bless and keep you. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Know that Hyatt has shown the world a love and given us a gift like no other.
Dear Troy and Family,
I spoke with Colleen this afternoon and she said it has been a tough week already. I am still in shock and can't believe this has all happened. Please know that I am still praying for you all and will continue always. Hyatt will always be my best friend in heart and soul as she is truely an angel now. I will always remember her laugh, smile, hugs and beautiful eyes. She is loved as much now as ever. I send you a big long hug Troy and know you are so blessed to have had Hyatt as your wife and mother of your children. I wish I could help you more through this but know you are in the best of hands! We love you very much. I hope to speak with you all again soon. With love and prayers,
Michael, Julie, Brandon and Laura
Dear Troy,
You are an incredible witness to Christ. May you feel His loving embrace as you face the days ahead. You are covered in prayer. Your loving, faith-filled heart exemplifies the true meaning of Marriage. May God bless you and your beautiful daughters and hold you close to His heart.
Troy,
The Lord is near to those with a broken heart. -Psalm 34:18
I read a card once that said "sometimes there are no words...only love." Please feel our love, prayers, tears, and support for your family now and always.
The world has been left a better place because Hyatt was here.
Praying.
May she rest in Peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your little girls.
Unbelievable. My heart breaks for all that you have lost and all that Hyatt has lost.
I don't know what else to say other than we have been thinking about you and the girls... We love you all.
We are so, so, so, very sorry.
Peace and Grace be With You,
Margaret, Rich, Lindsey & Jamie Asbell
Troy and Family,
I am so sorry to hear the news of Hyatt's passing. You know that she is now with God and at peace.
I have read your blog daily, as have many other's and have continued to pray for you, Hyatt and your wonderful little girls.
The next few days will be extremely difficult, but know that you have many people that are praying for you and keeping you and your family in their thoughts and close to their hearts.
If I can do anything for you or your family, please do not hesitate for a moment to reach out to me. Allen has my e-mail and cell phone #.
Tracy
My prayers are with you. I'm SO sorry for your loss.
Troy and Family;
Words cannot express how heartbroken we are for you and the girls. Thank you for sharing Hyatt with us over these months. Those babies will know how much their mom was loved by everyone.
Suzanne Fish
Hyatt's fellow BMAK Mom
God have mercy. God Bless your family.
My heart hurts for you and your family. Thanks be to God for the life of Hyatt. May God's peace be with you and carry you through these days.
Troy, I am so very sorry. You and the girls are in our prayers.
To the Nolan Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go to you and your family at this time of sorrow. Just know that she is now in the land of our father and is looking down on all that meant so much to her and is now your guardian angel.
Troy,
My heart broke when I read today's update, even though I have never formally met you or Hyatt.
There are so many feelings coursing through my soul, but I cannot grasp the words to express them. All I can say is that Hyatt has always been an angel, and now has her wings. Each and every one of us is a better person for having known (or known about) her; the earth is a brighter, healthier planet because of all she has done, and now heaven is even more beautiful with her there.
I will always be grateful for the way that you so openly shared Hyatt's story with all of us. She will forever hold a special place in my heart, and tonight I have said a special prayer for God to hold his newest Angel close to his heart.
Please don't be alarmed if you see a random young woman with two young kids around town one day, and she reaches out to give you a big, strong hug... it'll just be me, still without the words to express my feelings, but with a heart filled with love for what you and Hyatt shared, sorrow for what your girls will not be able to experience with her, and hope for a bright future filled with love, laughter, happiness... and many wonderful memories of Hyatt.
We love you all dearly.

Troy,
I never met Hyatt either, but I was so inspired by her life and your story. I have kept up with her blog when I heard of it through one of her friends. I have prayed for her and for your family and will continue to do so for you and your beautiful daughters. God bless all of you and I hope you know that there is a special place in heaven for people like Hyatt.
Dear Troy,
Although I have never met you and your family, I think of you so often. I am so sorry for your loss. You and your little girls are in my thoughts and prayers always.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending healing thoughts to your entire family.
Dear Nolan Family,
I've never met any of you, although I'm in BMAK and I live here in the neighborhood. I've followed your story and prayed for you all these past few months. Your posts have been incredibly inspirational. I'm so very sorry for your loss and will continue to hold you all in my prayers.

Troy and Family,

I am so very sorry to hear that Hyatt has passed on. My heart and prayers go out to the entire family. I can not imagine what you are going through. I did not know Hyatt but I am glad that you and your family were blessed with her love while she was shared with you all on Earth. God be with you and your daughters and family.

Praying for you during this time.
Dear Family and Friends (especially ALL of the best friends!),
I received an email on 9/14 from Teams of Our Lady asking for prayers for Troy and Hyatt and I've been following this heartbreaking but beautiful love story ever since. My heart grieves with you all.
Several years ago, someone shared the following story when a young woman died too soon and I found comfort in the words. Perhaps you may, too:
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" "Gone where?" Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!" God Bless, God speed, Prayers to your family.
Dear Troy,
We are praying for you and your family during this sad time. Hyatt was a beautiful woman, and a wonderful mother.
I met Hyatt only a few times during the last 10 years, and she was such a sweet person to know. I can hardly grasp why we have to lose such a wonderful person.
We pray that you will feel God's love and comfort at this time. And we pray for your little girls and your families.
Sincerely,
Sharon & David Foster
We have never met your family, and heard about you through our friends the Price Family. We have prayed daily for your family, and will continue to do so. PLease know that your story has touched many hearts, and that you are an incredible example of true Faith. I hug my husband and son more each day thanks to you. May God wrap his arms around you in your grief, and may you find comfort there.
The Pillon Family
Dear Troy and Family, My heart aches for you, and for everyone that has been made a better person because of their interaction with Hyatt. I know she has made my life so much richer than it would have been. I will continue to pray for you, and wish for you all the peace of God. He has taken another angel home who will be greatly missed here. Heaven definitely got the better end of that deal.
Oh, Troy!!!!! I am so very sorry for the loss you and the entire family are experienceing! I will be praying in the coming days, weeks and months for all of you as you grieve the loss of one so precious to you. You are loved.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. There are no words to comfort your sorrow. I pray for you and your two little girls and wish you peace, comfort, and healing. You have touched so many people through your sharing on this blog site. Hyatt would be so proud.
May God Bless you all!!!
I have never met you and found you through a friend from Hyatt's Mom group...
You have all been in my prayers and thoughts through this time.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your reminders to hold our families close. We "know" it - but it isn't shared nearly enough. Thank you and Hyatt for your gift of reminding me of that, my entire family has benefited from the extra love. Your love and faith has served as an inspiration.
I will keep you, your beautiful daughters and your family in my prayers.
Troy and family,
We are so very sad for your loss, words cannot express it... sending hugs from your preschool family, offering up lots of prayers...thinking of you and thanking you for the testimony you have been throughout this sad sad journey. You and your family are loved! We will continue to be here for you and for Sid.

Troy,
I don't think there are any words to express how sorry I am to get this news. Thank you for your willingness to share your faith throughout everything; it has been an incredible example for all of us who read this blog. My heart continues to break for you, Sid, Bekah, and your and Hyatt's loved ones. I am so grateful that I have known you and Hyatt as long as I have, and I have come to realize over the past several months what a profound influence she has had on my life. I am comforted by the fact that Hyatt is now truly at peace, because God has an amazing angel looking out over you, the girls, and your families.
Troy,
We are all so very sorry to hear the terrible news today. We have been praying for Hyatt, you, and your family non-stop in hopes of better news. Words cannot describe the sorrow we feel for your loss. We will continue to pray for you, your girls, and the family.
I am, and have been, at a loss for words since first hearing of Hyatt's condition. All I know to say is that I am so sorry, and I pray God will be with you all throughout this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Donald and family
You all continue to be in our prayers. So sorry to hear of her passing.
God be with you all.

I am SO sorry. You all are in my prayers. Please let me know if I can help in ANY way.
Kim Nussbaum
We are terribly sad to read of Hyatt's passing, but know that God will not leave you nor forsake you. We have prayed for you, Troy, Hyatt, and the girls from the beginning. Hyatt is now at peace, no longer sick. What an amazing friends, neighbors (and strangers) have been brought together through Hyatt. Thank you for sharing and asking for prayers. May God cradle each of you in his arms. May you be reassured by His love and strength, and carried by His grace, all the days of your life!
Dear Troy,
We are so sorry for your loss, and so thankful that you were so lucky to have someone like Hyatt in your life. You and your girls are blessed. It may not seem like an easy time but you have been touched by an angel who will look after you all and take good care of you. It's so hard to understand why something like this happens, especially to someone as good as you and the girls, but God always has a plan, and even though you may feel weak, you will become stronger from this. We are all praying for you and your family. Even though your angel is physically gone, she will always be with you and the girls and God.
With much love, we are praying for you and your family and beautiful Hyatt.
Troy, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and your girls. She no longer suffers. and may memories of her comfort you. Please keep up with this blog as I'd like to know what goes on. :)
God bless.
Dear Troy and Family (Yours and Hyatt's):
We are deeply saddened by your loss but will rejoice in knowing that Dear Hyatt is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We will continue to pray for peace and comfort for all of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Hyatt is at peace in Heaven. You are held in our thoughts and prayers!
I only met Hyatt once, at her cousin's wedding in Atlanta...Hyatt sang so beautifully at the wedding. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you now and in the very difficult days to come. And our sympathy and prayers go out to your extended family and friends as well, since Hyatt was very special to so many.
Sue (Oney) and Charlie Dungan
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Hyatt and your love with us.
Dear Troy,
We are members of St Mary's and each Sunday our hearts have gone out to you and your beautiful girls. I've wanted to hug you and tell you things would be okay. Our daughter was called to heaven on Oct. 20, 2006. We miss her each and every day. Please rest in the fact that Hyatt was greeted in heaven and I'm sure that our Maggie was part of that group. Our prayers are with you and your family. Be strong because God loves you.
Judy
Dear Troy,
We are members at St. Mary's and each Sunday we prayed for you and your beautiful girls. All I wanted to do was hug you and tell you things would be okay. Our daughter was called to heaven on Oct. 20, 2006 at the age of 26. Hyatt was met in heaven by a group of people and I'm sure our Maggie was there. Our prayers our with you and your family.
Troy,
Our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. May you find peace and love in the memories you cherish.

I am so sorry for your loss. Like many, I have been hoping for a wonderful miracle to take place for someone I've never met. Your family has been in my prayers and will continue to be in my prayers.
May your treasured memories bring you comfort at the times you need them most.
Tanya
Dear Troy,
We are heartbroken for you and your beautiful girls, and for everyone blessed enough to have had Hyatt in their lives. Just before we left the country late last year, Hyatt came down to our garage sale to buy a few things for her sweet baby still in the womb. I'm so glad that I got to see her and speak with her one last time. Our family will remember you in our prayers and we will never forget Hyatt and the lessons you have taught us about showing the people you love how much you care for them, every single day.

Troy,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I do not know you, but I'm a friend of Whitney's; and proving this is indeed a small world I'm from Greensboro with family members who attend Peace Church and know Hyatt's mom. Hyatt was an amazing woman and I know you all are so very proud of how she lived her life. What an inspiration she was and you have been throughout this journey. You all will remain in my prayers for peace, comfort and strength. Thank you and your family for showing us how God continues to work daily in our lives even in difficult times.
Troy & Family-
I have read your posts daily since one of Hyatts cousins on Upstatemoms site told us about her. You all have become a daily part of our lives. Reading the blog, praying for you, thiking about you. Nothing anyone says can help the pain go away. Just take heart knowing she is now with her God and no longer hurts. We will continue to pray for you and think about you for a long time!

Dear Troy,
Our hearts are broken and all our prayers and love go out to you and the children. Please know that Hyatt is in Our Lord's loving arms and watching over you always.

Troy and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort through your faith and family. Please know that Hyatt made a diifference in so many lives, even those she did not know. You and your family will be in our prayers through this difficult time.
God Bless you always.
Troy and family,
I think we have all been dreading the day this post would come. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Hyatt about 5 years ago on a 30th birthday girls' weekend for a mutual friend - she struck me as such an amazing person in the short time I was with her. I don't think we will ever understand this tragic loss. Your girls may have lost their mom, but they have the best dad in the world. I am thankful you are surrounded by family and friends who will hold you and guide you through the difficult days. I wish you peace in your heart.
Janice Horner

My the peace of God which passes all understanding comfort you now and always.
I weep with you, but I rejoice that Hyatt is with her Father and Maker and is whole and well once more.
Peace be with you.

I am very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in prays.
Troy -
I am so, so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult this is for you. My prayers are always with you and your beautiful daughters.
Diann Matthews
Dear Troy,
I posted this message last night but it hasn't shown up...forgive me if it is a duplicate.
I wanted to share the verse that we used for my father-in-law's prayer cards. He passed three weeks ago yesterday and continued to ask me how Hyatt was doing while he was battling his cancer. He never met Hyatt in person but he attended Hyatt's prayer service and was so taken with your obvious love for Hyatt. I would like to think that he has welcomed Hyatt into Heaven.
God Saw
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you, and whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
Sarah Pavlick
BMAK Mom
Dear Beka & Sid-
I now reralize this blog takes on a different meaning for you as it will now serve as a collection of memories of your mother's life. Because of this, I wanted to let you know what your mother meant to me. I am a friend of your mother's and father's who was able to spend time with your mother on a handful of occasions through the past 8 years. My hope is you will one day read this, understand it, and know the incredible effect one person can have on another.
We all are given many gifts from God, but some of us are special in that we truly realize it and truly embrace it. Your mother was one of those special people. To me, it appeared her greatest gift was her capacity to love. In the few times my wife and I spent with her and your father, it was obvious to me that she loved people, animals, nature, laughter, all God's creations (and especially your father). It seemed to me that she had the unique ability to see through all else and find love and beauty in all things. And she had the ability to make others feel it as well. I believe this allowed her to live a very full life, and though we tend to measure life by years, I prefer to meaure it by fullness. You two girls completed that fullness. You two are the gift your mother has left your father and all others who will see her light shine through you. I hope to see you one day as grown ups. And when I do, I know I will smile, and I suspect a tear of joy may come as well.
Your mother was a blessing to us all, and now she is an angel to watch over you, always.
God bless you both.
Troy,
I am so saddened for you and your girls to hear of Hyatt's passing... but I am grateful to the Lord that he has been there to comfort you. I will always have good memories of Hyatt to cherish... she will be missed terribly. May God continue to bless you and comfort you in the times ahead...
Jason
Troy,
We are so very sorry to hear of Hyatt's passing. We hope you can find comfort in the fact that there is another angel looking over you and your girls now.
Alen and Family
Dear Troy and Family, My deepest sympathy to you, your little ones, and all your family and friends. Your hearts are understandably broken at the passing of Hyatt. Please know that Hyatt will always be with you. May you find comfort in the memories of the many good times and blessing you were provided. It was my pleasure to meet Hyatt, a beautiful and vibrant young woman, when she visited Florida last year. Please know that I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. Betty Edwards
Troy-
I never knew you or Hyatt but for the last several months I have read your blog, looked at the pictures and prayed for your family. I am a mother of two young children and have a wonderful husband-- just like Hyatt did.
I, like you, may have taken that relationship for granted a few times along the way.
Not anymore.
Please know that you may never understand why God took Hyatt from you, her parents and the girls but do know that, in the process, you have brought others-- total strangers-- closer to the ones they love.
A day doesn't go by where there aren't a million kisses and hugs in our family, where "I love you" isn't a common saying.
Know that it is mostly because of what you shared, of you incredible love for your sweet wife, that has made a difference.
I-- along with so many who never met her-- mourn your incredible and unimaginable loss. May you someday find comfort that her loss may have saved the lives of others.
God Bless, Sarah
I am so saddened to hear about Hyatt's passing. I never knew Hyatt yet she has really changed me in how I love on my own children and husband. Troy, your words have meant the world to me. You are an amazing witness to Christ and though no one understands or likes that He took Hyatt to himself at such a young age, we know He is still good. May you feel peace and comfort by your family and friends. Praying for you and your precious girls.
I am so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers. She will always be there as an angel looking down on her little girls, God Bless all of you
May she rest in the presence and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I kiss and hug my little girls each day and I know you will do the same all of their days. Hope to get in touch with you soon.

My heart fell when I saw the heading. I pray for Hyatt every night as I rock my 2 year old to sleep. We spent extra time thinking about Hyatt last night, and then I read she has passed......it took my breath away.
I wish for you Troy, and the rest of Hyatt's family and friends, that you find some peace. And a special prayer for Hyatt's parents, I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.
God bless you all.
Samantha
Dear Troy and Family,
I've dreaded the day that I might read this post. I had been praying so hard for a miracle, and hoped for a "She's Coming Home", instead of "She's Gone Home". Through all the tears and heartache, I've tried to hold onto the fact that, she was an angel to us here on Earth, but she got her promotion to wings. Heaven definitely got the better end of that deal. I can just visualize and hear the chorus of angels that will be even more beautiful with her voice added to it. Of course that doesn't keep me from wanting her here with us instead, back to her happy, healthy, and vibrant self. I will miss her terribly. And you will continue to be in my prayers as you find your place in this new reality.
To Sidney & Rebekah,
Everyone around you will continue to remind you throughout your life of what an amazing woman your mom was. And they're all true. To me, she was the best friend I could have ever hoped for (we were college roommates). I measured all other friendships against those with "my Hyatt." But she was truly special. We could talk about anything and everything, and boy, did we! We used to get on the phone and literally talk for 4-5 hours at the time (sometimes to Troy's chagrin, but he was a good sport about it : ), and yet, Hyatt & I never run out of things to share. Your mom used to tease me that we had to make multiple attempts to end our calls (sometimes starting an hour before we ever managed to hang up). And as unbelievable as it sounds between 2 women, I don't recall a single true argument/fuss between us. Everyone loved her. You couldn't meet Hyatt for more than 15 minutes and not love her.
I have so many wonderful, happy, funny memories with her. The most recent was about a year ago when she came to Atlanta, and I stayed with her at Nancy & Ron's house. Sidney, that's where I met you for the 1st time, and when I first learned (through a funny circumstance) that she was pregnant with you, Bekah. Oh, she loves you both so very much!!!
We spent almost a week together, and I couldn't tell you specifically about a single thing we talked about. But I do remember how much we talked and laughed together, and how wonderful it felt just to be around her again. Your mom had this indescribable "aura" about her that just drew people to her. She also had this incredible way with friends. It's become obvious to you through this blog that she had lots of "best friends". But the truly awesome thing about Hyatt was that when you were with her, you felt like you were "her bestest" friend in all the world too. She was greatly loved, and loved you two beyond measure. Please know that your mom had a positive impact on so very many people, an impact and a love that will continue in their hearts & lives forever.
Love,
Rhonda Rollins
a "bestest" friend in the Atlanta area : )
Troy and family (both yours and Hyatt's)
Words cannot adequately express the heartache I feel right now...
Thank you so much for the posts you have written over the past couple of months. It has been a blessing to those of us that are many miles away. More than that though has been the incredible witness you have been to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I subscribed to the blog and have read it as well as the comments on nearly a daily basis since the first post; the impact your frankness, your willingness to share your feelings, and your witness has made on so many lives is nothing less than astounding.
You all will continue to be in my prayers. May you now, and in the days ahead, feel God's comforting presence.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. Although I have never met Hyatt I have seen her many times and her story has made me a better mother and wife and I will truly treasure every moment with them. Thank you for sharing your story. She was an inspiration to me.
My sincere condolences to Troy, Sid, Bekah, Hyatt's parents and all other family. I do not know any of you, but I am incredibly saddened by the news. May God be with you and help you heal during this difficult time.
Troy and family -
I have been following your blog for weeks and I just want to express my sorrow at your loss and my prayers for your family. I am glad to know she is with our Lord in heaven!
God bless you all.
In Christ,
Dorinda and family
Troy,
You do not know me but I have been
following your blog from the very
beginning. I just wanted to let
you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find
comfort in knowing that Hyatt is now with God.
God bless you and your family
Nothing that is loved...is ever truly lost.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I too never met Hyatt but have been impacted by her story and strive to be a better mother and wife each and every day...may God bless you and your family.
Troy,
I don't know you or your family, but your blog was forwarded to me back in September by a friend. I have prayed and cried throughout reading many of your posts and often think of you and your girls. I was dreading the day when I would read this post. I feel a big lump in my throat as I try and hold it together at my desk. I pray G-d comforts you and your family during this dark time. The outpouring of support you have been receiving is a direct result of the good Hyatt (and you) did during her time on Earth.
I recall Hyatt's voice so beautifully singing Love's Recovery..."How I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me, I'd still have two of the same to live..." Sid and Bekah are the beautiful fulfillment of a young mother's dream. Troy, her legacy is in good, strong hands. Our prayers are with you.
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear,
just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Troy, I thought you might find this song comforting at this time.

In case you can't pull up the link, it is on you tube, a song by Tim Hughes called "When Silence Falls" (it is the very first video/song that comes up when you search the title). I hope it brings you comfort. Continuing to pray for peace for you and your family that passes all understanding.

Dear Troy,
After her soul stepped out of its tired shell, I believe that Hyatt looked back at you with the most unbelievable love, gratitude, and joy.
She is free, and she will be with you, Sidney, and Bekah always.
Thank you for your testimony of marriage, love and faith and family you have shared with many thru these past few months. How amazing it is to think of Hyatt today ...healthy, happy,and complete and in the presence her Lord and Savior. I bet she is having a wonderful day on those streets of gold.
I wish you and your family lots of peace and love during this time.
My heart is breaking with sorrow for this terrible loss! I have been one of the many people who have never met Hyatt in person but felt incredibly connected to her and her family. In memory of her, I will be playing her beautiful songs today and I will give extra hugs to my husband and 2 children. From a distance I am embracing Troy, his girls and their entire family.
May Hyatt rest in peace as she is transitioning into Heaven!
I am so sad about this outcome for you and your family.
Although I met Hyatt only once before, she struck me as one of the nicest people I will ever know. As a BMAK member and neighbor, my heart goes out to you. I have prayed daily for Hyatt’s healing as well as healing for your entire family. Although that healing has not taken the specific form we all hoped for, I hope you can take comfort in knowing that Hyatt (the true part of herself which is linked to your own soul) is now free of earthly-suffering, at peace, and surely watching over you.
Thank you for sharing your insight, humanity, love and strength of faith throughout this ordeal. Hyatt, you and your family have inspired so many including myself to better appreciate what God has given us and trust in Him.
May He give you strength.
Dear Troy, Like so many others, I have never met you and you have never met me. I learned about Hyatt through a common friend. I have prayed for her and for your family from the beginning. I extend to you my deepest sympathy and hope that the love you have for Hyatt and the memories will keep you strong for you two beautiful daughters. You all will continue to remain in my prayers and I wish you peace.
My deepest condolences on your loss. May god be with you and your family during this difficult time.
Hyatt, I will miss you and regret we didn't cross paths again in our adult lives. You were one of those few people I would google for, to try and find you, tell each other what has happened in our lives, smile and laugh over old times. I will always remember you, I already did, 15 or so years since I last saw you.
To Troy, the girls, Hyatt's mom (who I still remember fondly), and all friends and family, know you are in so many thoughts and prayers.
May you feel the love of the Lord in your life and the children's right now. I am praying for you and your little ones. Thank you for sharing her and your experience.
Troy and Family-
Thinking of and praying for you all during this very difficult time... I never met you or Hyatt, but I have prayed so hard in recent months for a miracle, and now I pray for your peace, comfort and healing in the weeks, months and years to come. May the presence of your sweet girls and cherished memories of Hyatt comfort you always.
With deepest sympathy- Ashli Matus George & family

Peace be with you. My peace I leave with you. With continuing prayers....
I do not personally know you either and I cannot even recall how I became aware of your story. I have thought so much of Hyatt and her precious girls and Troy, your admonitions to hug those you love and to not waste another minute have echoed throughout my heart.
May God help to heal the hole left in the absence of your loving partner. I am so very sorry.
Blessings to you all,

My heart goes out to yoyu and your family.I know your daughters will be just like Hyatt. Someday you will be proud and thankfull for them.One day Sydney showed my friend and I how she can put her pj's on and how to do her children's around the world puzzle.She will be brilliant. I can see that Rebeca can almost crawl now and soon able to walk on her pwn 2 little feet. On that day you will be thankful for everything you have and so will I. I give you all my love and prayers.

Dear Troy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your girls are in my prayers.
To the Nolan family,
I was away until yesterday and just heard the sad news. I am so very sorry for your loss of Hyatt.
I am still amazed at Troy's ability, and strength, to put his thoughts into words for all of us to follow.
My thoughts and prayers are still with all of you and for Hyatt.
May God bless you all.
We are so sorry and saddened to hear about Hyatt's passing. Our love and prayers go out to you, Troy, your girls and all of your family.
Perry and Betty Nystrom and family
May your wonderful memories of Hyatt give you strength and peace during this difficult time. With each passing day, I pray that you gain strength and hope. Your life will never be the same, but with all the love and support you have, and the warmth of your two children, you will find peace. My prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Troy and family,
I've never met you or Hyatt either, but through your blog have come to learn about this amazing woman. How blessed you guys were to have her in your lives. I pray that you can find peace and comfort during this time of mourning and that your little girls will grow up to know what an amazing mom she was and how she'll be always watching over them.
God bless you and your family.
Troy,
I too have never met your amazing family but have been praying for you constantly since I heard about Hyatt thru my daughter. My own Mother died on Dec. 4th and on that day I was driving and thinking about Hyatt and praying for her. I asked Mom to please be with this wonderful Mother who was going to heaven soon. When I got home I checked the Blog and Hyatt was gone. It made me feel good that so many wonderful people were there to meet her in heaven. Mom was taken at 64 very suddenly, I'm sure that she felt her job on earth with her 7 children was not done and was not very happy. She has been with me in some way each and every day since. Your girls will feel her presence and know how much she loved you all. You are an amazing man and Hyatt was lucky to have you as a husband and the father of her children. A friend of mine wrote to me after losing Mom and said, "Don't cry and be sad that it is over, Smile and be glad that she Happened". I am and those words have helped me even today 23 years later. God's Peace be with your entire amazing family. You are still one very lucky man. I'll continue to follow the blog and pray for your family.
