Ryan P. McGrath

I didn't know Ryan, but was very touched by what I heard about him (through Blair Academy). His courage and joy for life is an inspiration for us all. My deepest sympathy to his family -

Hello to the mcGrath family, I am very sorry for your loss. Even though it will never measuure up to your pain I have some to. I was a student of Mr. Mcgrath when I was in 5th grade. I am now in 8th grade and I was hearing all of these people saying that he was coming back to school this year, and I was so excited. I couldnt wait! Even though it will seem weird without him in school I will no longer cry because I think of him that he is not in pain anymore. Once again I am very sorry.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Ryan, you will be greatly missed at Bolger. The students who you taught will always have wonderful memories of 5th grade because of you... the staff is heartbroken at losing such a great person.

My deepest condolences to the McGrath Family. Ryan was a great friend and teammate at Rutgers. His personality brought joy and happiness to all around him. He was extremely passionate, humorous and caring towards everyone who knew him. I am glad to have known him, he holds a special place in my heart as I'm sure he does for many.

To the McGrath family... Rest in peace Ryan may your hand always Be raised AS YOU STAND TALL ON THAT BIG MAT in the skys above!!!
