Dear Ryan, I see your beautiful face and my heart breaks for your parents. My son Keith passed on March 19th, 2013 at the age of 24. Your mom noticed my angel wings around my neck and we are now connected forever. Both our spirits were lifted as we shared stories. Keep sending those "little things," that provide her the love and compassion she needs. She will stop counting the days of your departure and start counting the many blessings of having you in her life. God Bless your soul. I am sure Keith is making your laugh up there!

Ryan, You will be missed and on my mind forever. I never met anyone with a nicer heart then yours and liked by so many people. Its hard for me to understand why a person as nice as you is takin away from this earth. Thats the hard part, why someone with only good intentions in his heart is takin away from us, someone that was a goodfriend to EVERYONE. R.I.P Finley

Dear Ryan:
God is assembling the best team of all time, with the best mens and the best players, and you are her best element, you and your number 12 are the star quarterback of this fantastic team.
There are no words in the world to describe the enormous respect and admiration feel for you,your wonderful smile and joy makes me believe in eternal happines and true love. Your travel has left us the worst pain that can experience a human being and a void that can never be filled, now my relatives and friends await you with flags in heaven, and from there enlighten us and along the right path.
All my prayers are for you and your family.

Ryan, this is the saddest I'll ever be in my entire life. I'm trying to stay calm and can only hope that you're in a better place now, where its recess all day. I've never met anyone with a heart as big as yours because they dont exist. You were one of a kind. I love you more than anyone will ever know.
Hopefully you brought the blue pillow.
R.I.P. Big brother
Your sister, Maggie Finley
