Not sure what to say?

Kristin, Lily, Wyatt-
I just seen the card you sent in the RT dept. and I went to your blog and found my way here. There's not anything I can say that will make his loss better, so I will say if you need anything-anything at all-you can contact me. :)I also wanted to say that Ryan was one of the most determined and upbeat people I've ever met. And I must say I'm very glad to have met you both, of course under better circumstances but, nevertheless I feel lucky to have met you both. I...

Dear Mrs. Sweeney and Family,

You have our deepest sympathy. We pray that God will give you strength, hope, comfort and peace at this time.

Love,

Carl, Val, Brandon & Carly Byer (Westminster Family)

To the Holwerda Family
You have my sympathy at the time of sorrow. Audrey and Lee Plasier

Dear Sweeney Family, We were so sorry to learn of Ryan's passing.

We have so many great memories of Ryan and your family. One we talk about so often is the neighborhood tree house. Ryan drew up some plans so that the steps would be just right for little Jordan.

He was always thinking about everyone else even though he had his health problems...God bless you all. The Don Rudat Family

Dear Sweeney family-
My deepest sympathies in the loss of Ryan, my heart and prayers go out to you. The world is a better place because he was here and I'm privileged to have known him and called him friend.
Lily and Wyatt- I know that you are young now when your Dad went to go home, but may you know the joy your Dad had in the midst of all circumstances! May you have his zeal for life, and a passion to serve and help bring joy to others even in the midst of your own life trials....

Dearest Sweeney family:

May the hands of our Lord carry you today as you have celebrated Ryan's life. He had a generous soul and Mike remembered him giving his baseball cards to raise funds for the Romanian orphans years ago in Crystal Lake. You will continue to be in our prayers. .

Dear Kristin, Lily, Wyatt, Kristin's family, and Ryan's family,
We grieve with you on losing Ryan in this life and rejoice that he is with Jesus. You have already inspired many through your hope and trust in the Creator, who gives and takes away, even when we can't understand it. We love you all and will continue to pray for peace.
Daniel, Laurie, Zane, and Sophia Gates

Dear cousin Sharon, and Les,
