Ryan, I will miss your smile and sense of humor....always put a smile on my face. I know you are safe in Heaven and will never be hurt again; But it will be so hard to accept you being gone. I know we will all be in Heaven one day and that we can't all go at the same time, so since you have gone before me, put in a good word for me and save me a place close to you. I love you Ryan and you will never be forgotten. God please ease the pain for Ryan's family (especially his Mom and Sister) and heal the broken hearts of all who love Ryan.
