Dear Anne, Mike, and Aaron:

We are together this Friday morning getting things ready for the gathering of many of the people whose lives were touched by Ryan. We shed many tears remembering your precious boy and sharing in your pain. Andrea made a comment that from this awful tragedy, the positive light is that it has brought out all the love we have for each other. Life scatters and disconnects people. At this difficult time, we are all rejoined to celebrate Ryan. Today he is...

Ryan William Stricklin. Not enough memories to remember. not enough laughs to grasp. the good times we had i will always truly charish. He was not just my friend- he was my brother. i cant ever recall a sad ryan for all the years i known him. Ryan was a caring friend who love to have fun. even if it wasn't the best idea, he made everything a blast.
One day bro, we will meet again.

To Ryan's Family,

While I only met Ryan recently at our family reunion, I had heard about him and how the imprint he left on those he met. It was a pleasure meeting him and my heart goes out to all at your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Anne and family,

I was so sorry to learn about the loss of such a fine, young man. Then my parents informed me of whose son he was. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through right now.

Anne, Mike & Aaron,
I am deeply saddened for your loss. May Gods precious promises bring you strength for today and hope for tomorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Anne Mike and Aaron, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Ryan was one of my best friends since the beginning of the year. You never had a dull moment with him. He never once had a sad look on his face. He was the life of the party. I can never forget on a cold january morning, Ryan and I and some friends decided that it would be fun to go to peoples houses to tackle snowmen, but the way ryan did it it was hilarious. He was in his shorts and cut off t-shirt. By the time we got done that day he...
