Dearest Melody,

I am so sorry. I wish I could say or do something that would make the pain go away for you. My love to Roy, Kyle and you. I pray for Ryan and know that he is looking over all of you. Please come to see me in Florida.

As I drove down main street and saw the flowers and stuffed animals I knew that had to be the place and I cried. I have never met your son but the pain I felt for your family was so overwelming I wept.

My son is friends with some of Ryan's friends. I just wanted to express the deep saddness I,as the monther of a 15 year old, feel for your loss.

It is a sad reminder that life can be so short and we should remember to tell our family and friends how much we love them when ever we have the chance.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul and Kyle,

I am so sorry for your loss. Ryan was one of the nicest guys I know. When I first met him he was polite and funny. I will never forget him.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Paul, My son Patrick was a friend of your son, Ryan. I want you to know that my son thought so much of your son, Ryan. There are no words to express how my heart breaks for you. Please know that we would like to help you through this most difficult time in any way we can. God bless you. Sincerely, Kerry McAleer

Mel, Roy, & Kyle,

We would like to express our deepest sympathy, and let you know that we are praying for all of you and Ryan. He will be missed terribly by Kimmy and me. We watched him and Kyle grow up. Taking him to Toys R Us for their birthday's would light up his face, just the same as Christmas morning. Ryan's love of sports was second to none. When ever I had extra tickets for the Cubs or Sox he and Kyle were the first people I would think of to go to the game. No matter what he was doing, he would always stop and wave or say "hello". The world has lost a really good, polite, helpful, young man, and we'll miss him.

Love, Dino & Kim Savaiano
