Barb, I will always wish that I saw your mom one last time. It just shows you not to wait to do things. It was so nice to see your dad. I hope with time that he finds some peace and happiness along with you. Let the people in your life know everyday how much they are cherished and loved. God Bless you and your family.

What a blessing to know that Pat is with our Lord. I pray for Gods comfort for the family in this difficult time. I have many precious memories of my childhood, but I want to express my gratitude to the Ryan's for making me a welcome part of the family while growing up. Thank you all for your love. I thank God that He has formed your hearts, and that Pat will be reaping those eternal rewards for He formed her heart especially for us so we could see Him.

With Love, Elena

Barb,

I miss your mom's sense of humor. I also miss the times that we would visit in her living room or at the table in her kitchen. Your mom shared many pearls of wisdom with me that I will always remember ~ those pearls are even more precious to me now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace of Christ to you and yours.

Love, Celia

This has been a difficult year with so much heart ache for everyone in the family.



I have so many memories of Aunt Patty. She stayed with us for a while when I was in first grade and taught me to blow bubble gum bubbles. Later, I remember her as a wonderful letter writer and I could always find her on line!



Aunt Pease was always with us when I was a child on Thanksgiving. I remember her teaching me to pitch pennies on grandma and grandpa's porch and helping me this past summer with my parents' anniversary party.



Uncle Lloyd was always so easy going and kind, even when he had to tell us to "settle" when he was trying to sleep during the day (which made us giggle more)!



They were all so kind to me as a child and later as an adult. I'm so happy and proud to say that they were my family. I'll never forget them. I hope I'm giving my own kids the same importance of family that my parents gave me.

I didn't get to spend a lot of time with you throughout my life, but the times we had together will always be memorable. Uncle Jim, Barb and Jim, my thoughts are with you as I know exactly what you're going through. But Pat and mom are growing up together again in a new and better place. Maybe mom will have a chance at beating her sister at Scrabble now. God bless you all.

In loving memory of my wife:



Hon, I know that you knew I loved you with all my heart. You were a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Many are the times that I was nearly brought to tears just watching you suffer during those last couple of years. Although I will miss you more than words can say and will always love you, I am happy for you because you are not suffering any more. It is but a short time and I will be joining you around God's great throne.

Your loving husband, Jim.

Mom,

Your unconditional love through the years are more precious then you will ever know. You have always been there for me. Thank you for your love.

You were not only my mother, but you were a wonderful and devoted wife, aunt, sister, grandmother and great grandmother. I am so lucky to have had you as my best friend. You will be so very much missed.

I love you mom. I will see you in heaven when the good Lord comes to take me away. I promise you, I will be alright.

Your loving daughter. Barb
