Dear Kevin & Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

"Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
and sore must be the storm
that could abash the little bird
that kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
and on the strangest sea;
Yet, never in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me."
e.dickinson

I am proud to have been part...

Dear Loral and family:
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your son.
I miss telling him why he's not doing his homework (as instructed by Loral)when he calls asking for Loral's whereabouts.

Ry, there's no one like you and no one can replace. I loved skating with you. Ry, my family and friends, the memories of all we had and the times that we lived together. I will never forget.

Ry, I love you, I'm sorry.

Kevin,
I am so very very sorry for you and yours.
Love
Leigh

Jill and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies for your loss.

I can remember Penny once telling me that if you love someone they become a part of your heart and will always be with you.

Any words that we have are woefully inadequate to help you heal, but know that our thoughts are with you and we are ready to help in any way we can.

Dear Family and Friends,

We send our deepest gratitude and love for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers in the days following Ryland's death.

"What Survives

"Who says that all must vanish?
Who knows, perhaps the flight
of the bird you wound remains,
and perhaps flowers survive
caresses in us, in their ground.

"It isn't the gesture that lasts,
but it dresses you again in gold

Loral and Family

We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Words cannot describe the feelings in our hearts.
Ryland's smile will always be remembered
Our prayers go out to you and your family.
