My condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Lyndon Sanders. I met Lyndon about 13 or 14 years ago in Fredericksburg. Lyndon spoke of his family and friends with great love. He was a good friend and will be missed by all who knew him.
Sincerely,
Susan
I remember watching fireworks as a child at his house in Las Colinas, as well as fun times at the motel while my parents (Jack Jr. and Mary) were working. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
My relationship only began about 6 years ago with Lyndon, however, he still impacted my life like very few have, He was a man of great vision, strength, integrity and moral values. He was always concerned for his grand daughter and great grand kids and the world they would be growing up in. We discussed at great lengths business philosophy, politics,investing and family values. I will dearly miss his words of wisdom.......rest in peace my dear friend. You will be truly missed! Tony Brock
My memories of my dad are many!! He was with me for the birth of all three daughters. He would sit on my bed and tell me how beautiful the babies were.
My dad would tell me what a great mom I am.
He would tell me what a smart business partner I was to my husband. He had a way of making you feel like a million bucks!
I have so many memories of Lyndon Sr. I knew him to be a strong and vibrant man of conviction and ideals. He was a visionary in the motel business, at a time & place that many questioned. He was proved right and began many of the policies of today's travel industry.
My favorite memories of him were dancing with me at my wedding, taking pictures with the family and charming so many. He brought my mother in law onto the dancefloor and even twirled her mom a few times. He shared smiles and wisdoms with my husband and me as we started our lives together.
When Dad was having his surgeries, Lyndon sat right there with Mom, lending her a shoulder and his own hopes for his son's health. That meant so much at a time that I couldn't be there, to know that there was someone else who was family.
Even as a little girl, it seemed LW was larger than life, and he has meant a lot to me. I wish I'd listened to his advice more, but I do think he knew how much regard we held for him and that we respected him as our patriarch.
A candle will always burn for you in the synagogue of my heart. Since I returned to Texas you and I got very close and spent fantastic times together. Your heart touched mine and they have merged. The relationship you had with my grandchildren was golden... you were there for their birth and their birthdays and many times in between. . Your dedication to having smoke free rooms in hotels and motels has gone world wide. The planet thanks you! Your contribution of time and money to the Gerson Institute has fought the dreaded disease....Cancer. Your deep love for your country can not be surpassed.. and we spent hundreds of hours discussing that subject. You have helped everyone in your family and we will be forever grateful. The greatest part is that you always considered me family. All my condolences go out to the entire family. Be at Peace, My Friend you are now with Our Heavenly Father....Shalom
