Not sure what to say?





10 years without you. It's unbelievable. I had to come here to remind myself that you were really gone. That you're not just out there, somewhere, maybe married, maybe with a couple kids, who knows? I'm sorry for the pain that took you too soon. I wish I'd gotten to know you longer and better. You're in all of our hearts, forever.

Ryan I can't believe this..I just found out yesterday. I knew you for a short time, but in that short time you helped me go through one of the hardest times in my life. I have searched for a few years on a way to get a hold of you and when I found out last night I lost it I didn't know how to feel. You picked me up, always made me laugh and left some of the best memories in my heart. I wish I could have been there to help ease some of the pain you were feeling just like you did for me. I will always remember the times we shared, I know you are in a beautiful place now and one day we will reunite..until than my friend.

We grew up miles away from one another, didn't see each other nearly enough. But when we did it truly was a fantastic time. I will forever remember the first time we all took you skiing in New York. Prior to starting you made sure to remind us of your athletic ability. We reminded you this isn't the sunshine state and you are not surfing. Needless to say you informed us no lesson needed and went on your way. You learned quickly a snowboard isn't the same as a surfboard. You were an amazing cousin with a great heart. I will miss you. All of us her in New York will miss you. You will never be forgotten. Love you always
