To my big sister, her husband, and of course, my Godson Chris...I love you all so very, very much. When tragedy happens such as this, we hear so many appropriate, albeit, common condolences. Some may simply not know what to say, some are left stunned and speechless, and then there are those who utter something so perfect that it finds its way to a special nook in your heart that will keep forever; one that will be dwelt on numerable times that will give true, inner comfort, forever. I'm one of those who cannot say appropriately, how deeply my heart hurts for you now. But I do know that my Father in heaven sees my broken heart and most assurredly will hear my prayer. It's one of simplicity that He answered for me when we so recently lost our wonderful sister. I pray that each of you will be blessed with that "precious gold nugget" of truth that will rest peacefully in it's place, to be brought to the forefront of your minds, to do it's work in your hearts forever more. Ryan will never, and could never be replaced; but the joy he gave us with his quick wit and humor will pale in comparison to the joy you'll experience when you see him again, in the Kingdom he's been so lovingly ushered into. And that reunion will be for eternity, ...."and every tear will be wiped away." My deepest love to you all, Dee
