Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite family photos includes Ryan--it was our Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary party, and Jim, Karen and Ryan had come down to join the festivities. We are all sitting in the wagon about to depart for a hayride. That red hair and warm smile of Ryan's are front and center, and always will be in our memories. God be with you all in this sad time, and know we continue to pray and hold you in our hearts.

As a far away cousin of Ryan's, I am extremely sad that I did not get to know him as an adult. I remember him being born, up to the age of 12. I would call him "handsome" and he would smile and blush. I always pictured him coming to visit Colorado and ski with me. I promise I will help Juanita, Karen and Amy with anything they need. Family is first.

Please know of my continued prayers.

I was saddened to hear of your tragic loss. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all Ryan's family and friends. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I was sorry to learn about your loss and I wanted to express my deepest sympathies. Not one of us knows where our road will lead us or where our road ends. But in times of sorrow, we receive
comfort from our friends. Amy, if there is anything I can do for you
Anything at all... I'll be here for you; Always your friend. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May God Bless You and comfort you in your hour of grief.

Love,
Sabrina

We are very sorry for your loss. Ryan is a person who people will remember forever.

So sorry this happened. You are all in my thoughts.

Though Ryan and I weren't real close, we grew up together in school and on the bball courts. In 6th grade, his dad said something to me that made me feel very special. I've always cherished Ryan and his family for being friendly and the work they put into being our Coaches. I pray for blessings and grace and hope from God our Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to Ryan, his family and ALL his friends.
