Not sure what to say?

Angela, I just discovered the information concerning your precious husband's death. I am so sad that I never had the chance to meet this wonderful husband, father and grandfather. I 'd like to think that Ashley was there to greet him as he entered God's loving arms. God bless you and all of your beautiful family.
Much Love,
Judy Taylor Reynolds

As a patient, Dr. Ryder was a phenomenal doctor and an even greater human being. He helped me and countless others.
I feel that our sessions went beyond just client/doctor and he will be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family

Dr. Ryder and I met in 1996, he really helped me. I was misdiagnosed and he set things right in my life. He was a caring man and showed true concern for my well- being. I thank GOD for allowing our paths to cross. Your family will be in my daily prayers. May Almighty GOD hold and keep as you walk your new normal, and my the memories made with Dr. Ryder sustain you each day.

Dr. Ryder blessed our lives with his loving and determined care of my wife Alice. She loved him and I will
always be grateful for his joyful uplifting heart. We only learned of his passing after the funeral so to his wife and family please accept our heartfelt sympathies for your loss of an irreplaceable man of God.

I still fondly remember our medical school days, working hard, playing even harder (tackle football with no pads, and this crazy game called KAOS as freshmen-- I’m still surprised half the class didn’t get kicked out for that!).
Garrett, it is obvious that you turned out to be a great doctor. But I think, more importantly (as it was apparent to us back then), you were a GOOD man.
God bless you in the afterlife, brother.
Though I’ve never met you, Angela, my deepest...

Dr Ryder pushed me both as a nurse and as a person. He expected the best and he drew you to want to be the best. I am forever grateful for the things he taught me ,the family members he helped me with and I mainly appreciate him helping me when I was struggling with grief. He was always kind but no nonsense and I appreciated that so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all ❤

Angela I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. My husband and I were classmates in medical school with Garrett.

Garrett always seemed to be a happy person through medical school. My condolences to his family and close friends.
