To Kathy, the Fields and Horne families...so sorry for your loss. Another great one taken away too soon. I truly enjoyed every second I spent on the lacrosse field with you, Fieldsy, your love and passion for the game was second to none. No doubt you inspired many young kids to try our "new game" in town and helped to promote it when many were reluctant to accept us. Thanks for being a great ambassador for our game, and thanks for all you did for our game. Today's booming youth and high school programs would not be around if not for people like you. Must be God needed someone very special to start a new lacrosse league in heaven. Thanks kid. RIP

I am so so sorry. We were next door neighbors for fifteen years. I'm really taken back. To Kathy, big Bob, Jaremie, Jason and Bobby. I share your loss. The boys were always in and out of each other's house. Hockey, whiffle ball in the field, we always had something going. We had six boys between us. I don't know what to say during times like this. There is something missing from my well being today. It's Ryan. Guys! I'm Soo sorry.

Alan and Gail Will and sons Geoffrey and Stephen.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear about Ryan. I don't think that there are ever enough words to comfort anyone at the loss of a child, especially one in the prime of his life. But from reading the testimonials from his friends, it seems that he lived life well and was loved by many. I wish that I could have known him. I pray that God provides you and your family peace.
