I read this somewhere and I have to write this here..."Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." I met Ryan a very long time ago when he was visiting his Aunt Kelli. I remember Ryan as very spirited and his Aunt Kelli laughing real hard watching him in action. There are no words that I can say - because there are none today. I am an old friend of Kelli's. My heart hurts for Ryan's family. Hugs.
