There is nothing we can say that can truly express the depth of our sorrow. We have lost our only son & the future he should have had. Like his dad, Ryan was a quiet & thoughtful man. Ryan loved Alexis with his entire heart & soul - they had a very special love that would have lasted a lifetime. The past year has been difficult but we must all continue. Trevor sees pictures & knows "that Ryan". Shannon & Brian's new baby will have Ryan's middle name & give us another reason to go on. Ryan's smile still warms our hearts. Ryan, we miss you now & forever. Love, Mom & Dad

God's Word tells us "to be absent from the body is to be present before the Lord". Ryan is sitting at the foot of the Savior and has found rest in Him. God Bless you Alexis, and I am praying for your strength in the LORD. Sometimes we dont understand His Will, but know that He Loves you.

We love you and my prayers are with you and your family.

To Our Dear Friends,

There are no words to say. You know we understand the unbelievable pain you are in losing your beloved Ryan. It is just not the way it is suppose to be. There is no way to explain or to understand it.

We like to think that Ryan is with Erica and Tommy and that, along with all of those we have lost, their only wish is if they could tell us..."We're fine, we're happy, we'll be waiting for you."

Please know you are constantly in our thoughts. If there is ANYTHING we can do or if you just want to talk, we're here.

With Our Love,
Pat and Denise
