11/27/2012--Hello my little love. These past 2 years have been difficult without you, almost unbearable! Now your brother has been taken from us in a most violent of ways. I can imagine you being the first one to greet him. Wait for me Kee Kee, because I will be there soon. This world is not worth living in without my children. You have been my life, I have poured all that I have into you, love, compassion, joy and the most important: that you share the love of the Lord by action and by His Word. I am soooo proud of you both that my heart could explode. To me, it seems, my work here is done. I want my babies back! Love, Momma

We live in a world where there are no answers to be heard. No beginnings to our endings. We try and trust that our paths will lead us to a clearing in hopes we never face the unknown. Sometimes there isn't a word to be spoken, a voice to be repeated. But we will always have what was once a pure soul.. an Angel...I prayer to be spoken.. A silhouette to be seen... A voice never forgotten...

Kiela,
It has been great to get to know you the past few years. It was just yesterday we were selling Christmas trees together in the freezing cold. Your brother was having us try seaweed salad and sushi rolls with 14k gold on them. LOL. You are a beautiful person. I know you will watch over your family as their guardian angel. You will be greatly missed; your legacy will live on in our hearts forever. We devote our hearts and prayers to the Ryan family. Rest in peace Kiela.
Love,
Justin and Jackie Olewack

Kiela,
You are such a energetic, loving, and vibrant person. I use the present tense because I can't imagine a spirit like that just vanishing. That energy and love it out there, around us, but we can't see it and everybody is aching. It is so beautiful that your spirit does live on and is reflected in everyone. We'll always think of you and love you.

Kiela,
You are so energetic and vibrant and loving. I write in the present tense because I don't believe that that kind of spirit could just end. You're still out there, we just can't see you. Everybody's aching because of that, but at least your energy and love is still here.

Kiela, Im glad I got to know you and now know why your presence on earth was so strong and positive . It had to be to get cut so short. I like to think these things happen for SOME reason weather we figure it out or not, and Im happy that you never had a chance to lose the feeling you carried thru life. your life and death will be forced to be thought of as "bitter-sweet" from my veiw because of that. I wish it wouldve lasted longer and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of your loved ones. You had soo many. RIP and God Bless. See you when I get there ;-)
