Blake Anderson took a leave of absence from Arkansas State to be with his wife Wendy, in her fight against cancer.
As he returned, he discovered the power of his wife’s legacy, the support from the college football community and the strength to face a season without her.
Thank you to David Hale of

Fan watch today. She’s a fighter. Family and friends are so blessed to have so many people praying for Wendy. GOD is good
Absolutely beautiful surprise sitting at my door this morning. Thank you Heather & PJ Fleck for lifting us up so faithfully these past couple of years. She loved you guys, as do I. 💕
1 year ago today You left us. You took your own life & there is nothing we can do to ever change it. Memories, questions, grief, and tears are all we are left with. We miss you dearly. Depression & suicide ARE REAL. If you are hurting please reach out for help NOW 💚 dial 988
PLEASE help me wish a BIG Happy Birthday to my best friend, my wife, & my love Wendy Leann Anderson... absolutely the toughness most amazing person I’ve ever known. So blessed to spend my life w you Babe

Excited at just the thought of what God has in store for us over the next year... beyond blessed. Food to eat & ball to watch w the kiddos seems like the perfect start. HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL 🎉
4 of my favorite ladies in one pic. Missing you this morning Babe, but know you’re looking down w that beautiful smile on us today... probably sharing some “useless trivia” w St Peter too. 😂💕
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY these “Special” Ladies showed up when we needed them most & gave Wendy a surprise 49th Birthday Party... YESTERDAY this beautiful bench arrived in memory of Her. Love & miss her like crazy. Love & appreciate all the folks who made this happen. So grateful 💕
Hard to believe it’s been a year... seems like only yesterday, but I see you daily in every smile, laugh, and step of our kiddos. You are the best parts of them and me as well. Love & miss you today more than ever, but filled with joy knowing you are in His presence right now. 💕
2 yrs ago today I received the worst call of my life… you were gone. Depression & suicide had taken you from us, & there was nothing we could do to change it. Would so love to hear your laugh, see your smile, & enjoy a big hug from you today. MENTAL HEALTH IS REAL 💚

BREAKING: In stunning moment, Botham Jean's brother embraces Amber Guyger after her sentencing for his brother's murder.
"I don't even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you, because I know that's exactly what Botham would want."
My heart breaks for Our Country this morning... racism & hatred, countless battling COVID, and thousands in the path of a brutal hurricane. HE IS THE ANSWER ❤️
Missing my guys tonight, but so excited hearing all the laughs and excitement as they see the New Complex for the first time... back with you soon fellas ‼️‼️

So blessed to have watched such a Godly example of what a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Friend, and Leader Christ expects us to be... miss you already Pops but praising Him knowing you suffer no more. No doubt you are hugging Wendy in the presence of Jesus Christ right now.
Today Cason should have turned 23… so much life ahead cut short by depression & suicide. MENTAL HEALTH IS REAL !!! If you are someone you know are struggling please speak up before it’s to late.

Recently our Offensive Coordinator, Kris Sweet, was diagnosed with cancer. So members from the team shaved their heads to support him. Truly a SPECIAL team here at Lyon.

Lifting up all those hurting this morning after yesterday’s storm. Hard to understand why these things happen, but know that GOD’s grace & mercy will still be seen through it all.
This picture of a 5-year-old sister comforting and supporting her 4-year-old brother with leukemia struggling with the side effects of chemotherapy shows the heartbreaking effects of childhood cancer on the patient's family
God is so amazing !!! He showed up in a huge & surely unexpected way after the experts all said not to get our hopes up.

and I couldn’t be more excited to be adding one more to our crazy lives this summer.
