Tom, Anita and family. I am so sorry to hear about Ryan. He and I talked so many times when he would be over at Bills shop. When ever we saw each other we ALWAYS made it a point to say "hello" but more often than not we would talk for extended periods of time. I pray that through the tears, the stories of Ryan and the things he did will bring smiles too. God bless all of you during this most difficult time.

I'll never forget all the good times we had with you and our kids. There was one time I wouldn't let my kids go somewhere with you because they didn't have all their work done. You told your mom and dad that Aunt Nan just had kids to do her work for her. Or how about the time you told your mom that my bath towels were hard as rocks and scratchy. (I hung them on the clothes line.) How about the time we were having chicken gizzards as a snack. All of the kids grabbed and started eating, and you were just standing there. The platter was empty! You couldn't believe they were gone. The day we buried Tony, YOU were at the church door to escort me in. I will never forget all the different things through the past 36 years. What a gentleman! We will miss you so much Ryan. No one had a bigger heart than YOU. Love you, Ryan. Aunt Nan
