Judy, Andy, & Tyler,
I pray often for peace and happiness and this time of year I pray for yours. Like Deborah, I too will see a young man and be reminded of Ryan and your family. I suspect you hold fast to that promise of eternity together and what a comfort that is. Take care. I love you dearly and think of you often.

Happy Birthday Dear Boy. You are missed. I often see young handsome men in the distance and think of you. I know someday we will all see you in the distance and at that time we will be able to walk to you and hug you. Until then, you and your dear sweet family remain in my thoughts and prayers.
