Maxine,
We are very grateful to each of you for sharing your precious and final moments
with Lyndol this past week with us so that we could visit with him. We loved him
so very much and he will be deeply missed.
His wonderful stories, laughter and "words of wisdom" will be with us always.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
We love you.
Lyndol-
Thank you for being beautiful in our time.

The Staff from Iowa Girls State wishes to
express their condolences to Maxine and Lyndol's family on his passing. We have
lost not only a fantastic photographer, we have lost a friend who became family
to us. Lyndol was the Iowa Girls State photographer for 43 years. It is the
end of an era and we know there will never be another Lyndol again for us. It
was amazing to watch him get 300 plus, 17 year old girls lined up, to capture
their smiles. His line of "Smile and think of your boyfriends back home"
brought smiles to their faces. But his next line of "Now think of someone
else's boyfriend" brought giggles, laughter, and bigger smiles to their faces.
Lyndol and Maxine were very generous to our program over the years. They never
let a girl go home without a picture who could not afford one. They donated
flags and a scholarship every year and continually asked what else they could do
to support our program. People like Lyndol and Maxine only come by once in a
lifetime
. We feel fortunate and blessed it was in our lifetime. We will miss him next
June at Iowa Girls State but we will remember him with fondness and love as we
take our Staff picture and remember his favorite word he always had us say to
bring a smile to our faces. May God Bless him and look over Maxine and their
family!

Maxine,
I think about you every day and you having to go through what Dad did. I send up
little prayers that you, Dad, the aunts, and grandmother will be able to walk
through this grief and come out the other side where only the love and wonderful
memories remain. - Debi
