Ryan, you have no idea how badly i wish this was a terrible dream. We were so close, i wish we would have stayed close when i left poly. We had so many good memories, and it's sad we will never be able to make more together. You were always so funny, and always picked on me because i was so short. I miss everything about you, and i promise i won't forget you. Meet me at the gate when it's my time Ry, you'll be the first person i want a hug from. Rest in sweet peace dear friend, you will be missed.

Ryan I will never forget you! You were one of the sweetest guys I have ever met before, you were never rude to me. I may not have been bestfriends with you since school ended and I went to college, but still doesn't change the fact that you were in my life.... you will be missed Ryan. Look down on us.... <3
