Nearly 20 years later, Annie´s kindness is still remembered by myself and many others. I was a high school classmate of Annie´s, and his open heart has had an impact on me all these years. What a truly wonderful young man with a gentle soul. He will always be missed.

It is May 20th, 2007......this time last year you were suppose to be right HERE spending the night with us.............Oh, how I wish we could roll back time and you could be here to ease your families' suffering, and to see my Katie Joe smile just one more of those big smiles you always gave to each of us. You are missed beyond imagination, Annie. This is NOT a good weekend for me, but I KNOW you are in heaven.........at peace and still loved by each of us more than you could ever dream of being loved. RIP "Joe's Mom"

"Annie" would have been 18 years old March 29th, 2007........instead we joined at Lafayette HS to dedicate a large blue bench in his memory. It is so very hard to accept the fact that he is gone from our lives, but I just wanted to say to Carol, Richard, Daniel and ALL of us who loved Andrew Ryan so very, very much, that yesterday's memorial service on Annie's 18th birthday was a huge reflection of the LOVE that will ALWAYS remain for your son, brother,grandchild, nephew, cousin, dear friend and one truly incredible young man. We ALL miss you so very much "Annie". RIP, Glenda (Joe's Mom)

I am very sorry for your loss. From the entries I can tell that your son was a wonderful young man. Please know that Andrew will never be forgotten by our family and many others. In his life and his death he has touched many lives. To this day it still amazes me at the strength you showed by helping others by making the decision to donate his organs. Your family will always remain in our prayers and Andrew will always remain in our hearts. God Bless.

Carol, the usual platitudes seem to be so...worn...when something like this happens. Instead, let me share a poem I had written long ago to express my personal sorrow over losing a loved one...I've changed it just a bit for you. Maybe it can help you as well.
The Cross
O Cross, your Christmas-tree-blue light reassures me—-comforts me.
High atop the barn,
A farmer’s uncomplicated, compelling instrument for God’s exultation;
your light revives the weary traveler...
and beckons the soul.
Your light helped me realize that God was neither cruel nor vindictive.
...and when his body crumpled,
...when solace, exuded by well-meaning and kind-hearted friends, escaped me;
...when, at my lowest point, I believed that suicide was no longer an absurd option to escape my pain...
Your light—-GOD’s light—-helped me realize that suicide is NEVER an option...absurd or otherwise. Your light helped me see that God is neither purposefully hurtful nor coolly indiscriminate when He takes us, His children, Home.
Mission completed, your Christmas-tree-blue light died in The Ice Storm.
Faith buttressed against all enemies, I again trusted Him with my very being.
Now, when I see the beautiful fields and the whimsical skies,
when I hear the birds’ clear and joyous song,
when I feel the warm sun or the cool, biting wind,
when the colors turn from green to gold to brown...
...especially when I think of him...
I am at peace, I am filled with God.

Carol, Richard, and Daniel: I am truly sorry for your loss and I can't even find the words to express my sorrow and shock for what has happened. Carol, you and Richard have always been such amazing parents and Andrew had grown up to be such a great young man. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Richard,
Today I heard of your loss of your son, Andrew. Words can not express the sorrow that I feel for you and your family. This evening I read thru the entries in this guestbook, and it so strongly shows what a special young man Andrew has been. I pray that the Lord will comfort you in this worst of times, as there is no greater pain than the loss of a child. May the Lord be with you.

I just wanted you to know that Annie was really a great guy. He has soo many friends and is liked by everyone. I can't say that I know him well, but after seeing the impact he had on so many lives, I am sure you have a very special son. His memory lives on in the hearts of the thousands of students at Lafayette.

Dear Carol, Richard, & Daniel,Ive only met you and your family a few times and always under sad times. I was best friends of Mr Pat & Pattie Nutt from Hamilton,Oh. This is where I became friends of Ernie & Wanda & continue to stay in touch.
I couldnt believe the message Ernie sent me regarding Andrew's accident. I had to get in touch with another friend to see if it could possibly be true.
I am so sorry that Andrew's life was taken so suddenly. From all the messages I have read you can be so proud that he touched so many lives in so many good ways. My prayers are with you and your extended family.

Scotty and I are so sadden for the lose of Andrew. We were talking the other night about him telling Scotty and Doc Dave that he was going to taked his tractor and pull Scotty's truck down the driveway. His tractor had super power. What a plesant memory! We pray that God will give you all a peace with your lose...but remember Andrew touched many people in his short life. My parents have special memories as well, he has come to their aid on several occassions. As his parents, please take great pride in the values that you have taught and shared with him.

Carol and Richard, I met Annie through church and by Katie Jo Elswick. I know you don't know me but I just wanted to tell you how awesome Annie was. Every time I saw him he always gave me and evryone else hugs. I will miss him deeply. But we'll see him again someday. This is just a temporary seperation. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Family of Andrew,
I was there to help at the scene of that terrible accident and being an ex-lieutenant of rescue I have seen my share of trauma. Andrew has been on my mind and heart from that moment so I just wanted to let you know that I prayed for him at the scene and asked our Lord to hold him close and to care for his family and friends. May God be with you always.

Richard, Carol, and Daniel,
Words escape me. I only hope that you can find a small amout of hope in what we all witnessed at the hospital on Saturday. I was in awe as I watched not only my own child greive as I had never seen before, but all the other students and parents as well. You must be so very proud of your Annie as he has touched so many lives.

Carol, Richard, Daniel, Words will never be enough to ease your pain.I can only imagine what it has been for you,as for me it has been a living nightmare that won't stop. "Annie" was my 'son' and 'Joe's' dearest friend who called me "Mommy".I am still very bitter about having to lose yet another love in my life,especially at such a young age. But OH what he accomplished in his mere 17 years. Know this, he made ALL the difference in the world in Katie 'Joe' Elswick becoming the wonderful young lady she is. He gave her unconditional, love, support, and self esteem that I could never give her....he 'saved' more lives than he will ever know.
I just wanted to let you know, my Grandson who is due Oct 1 has his name already chosen...Andrew Ryan Elswick. "Annie" will never, EVER leave this family. He will remain in our hearts "Til death do us join!"

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Graham and Daniel and family,
I want you to know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. What a gift Annie had for friendliness towards everyone - young or old! The first time I met him he gave me a big hug - and I had just extended a hand for a handshake. He was one of the first people to welcome my daughter, Abigail, to high school. After meeting you in the chapel Saturday I could see where his generous spirit came from. Thank you for letting the children say goodbye.
Anyone who met him could tell that he came from a very loving and affirming family, and even in your grief you have given. May you find comfort in God's love.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Graham and Daniel,
My heart goes out to you in your loss. I did not know "Annie" but I'm sure he was a fine young man and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I want to thank you for donating his organs as I lost my son a few years ago while he was awaiting a kidney transplant and, ironically, we were able to donate some of his organs. Thank you for thinking of those in need in your grief and I hope you will be comforted by knowing others are thinking of you and yours.
Lovingly,

Watching my daughter Cassidy and her friends grieve for Annie, I am amazed and humbled by their obvious love for him. This tragedy causes me to realize how precious my daughter is to me and reminds me not to take anything for granted.
Thank you for letting the kids be involved. Their grief is sincere and it has helped that they can openly express how they feel. My prayers are with you and with Annie.

Words cannot express the sorrow of the loss of Andrew. I remember him as an interesting little kid running around at the family gatherings with Daniel and the other kids.

I don't even know what to say. I remember a few months ago when a guy with braided red hair came up to Me and my friend out of nowhere at a show, but I didn't mind because he was magnetic. We asked his name and he said "Annie". We thought that made him so amazing. From the moment we started talking to him, I was drawn to him. He seemed so full of life. I actually have a picture of him from that show and you can see a certain spark in his eye. He was such a nice person. He just randomly went up to people and tried to start new friendships. Not many people will or can do that. I may not have known Annie like some people do, but from that one time I will remember him for the rest of my life. I know that he was an amazing person and I am truely sorry for the loss of such a wonderful life.
Rest in Peace, Annie.

While we never had the opportunity to meet you, we knew Annie through our son, Chase. Annie and Chase met at Lafayette and were good friends, having many interests, hobbies, & friends in common. We just wanted you to know that we see through Chase and his and Annie's mutual friends how much Annie was loved and how much he will be missed. You obviously raised a wonderful son, and we know you are so proud of him. Being parents, we understand your terrible loss and our hearts grieve his loss with you. We will pray for you to find strength during this most difficult time and peace from your wonderful memories and knowledge that Annie is cradled in loving arms.

For the entire Graham Family my prayers and deepest sympathy are with you during this time of great loss. Andrew was a visitor in my home many times and even just popped up on our doorstep just to say hi to my daughter Karie who will miss him dearly. You raised a very caring and well mannered young man and you should be proud. Even though it's been a little while since I last saw Andrew, I sit here seeing him sitting upstairs on my couch with Karie between him and Chad and that big smile on his face as they just chilled out. He was always such a gentleman and seemed to bring smiles to everyone he knew. He will be missed but his spirit lives on in those who've been blessed with his special gifts! May God be with you all and carry Andrew gently to his new home. God Bless.

I saw Annie almost everyday after school. We hung out in the same place, we were part of the same group I guess you could say. I never got to know him very well. But every chance I got to speak with him was a pleasure. Annie was such a kind hearted boy. His compassion for people was amazing. All I can say is that he will be truly missed by all who knew him.
Rest in Peace, dear one. We love you.

It was an honor to have Andrew in one of my advanced U.S. History classes at Lafayette. I always enjoyed his observations on what we were studying in in class. He was right on target. He kept me challenged as a teacher which is the greatest gift a student can give to a teacher.
I will also remember Andrew as a friendly individual who had a great sense of humor. He would drop by sometimes after school, having friends on the team, while speech team practice was going on, There we would just talk. Andrew was brilliant, humble and kind.
That will be my memory of Andrew.
I feel honored to have known Andrew and mourn his loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I want you to know that you are all in my prayers. I can't imagine what it must have been like to lose someone so close to you. I wish that there was more I could do or say to help, but in situations such as these all we can do is pray and celebrate the life that Andrew lived. You all have my love, and my God be with all of you in your time of need.

This is to Annie's family. I doubt Annie would have considered me one of his best friends, but in my life he was one of the greatest people I ever knew and what I truly consider to be the "perfect" friend. He was honorable, caring, and trustworthy like no other. He never once put himself before one of his friends in need. I truly and unconditionally loved Annie for the way he was and I only wish that I could've gotten to know him even better while he was still on this earth. And if there's anything you all ever need I'll be glad to help, just give me a call at 859-608-4276.

Uncle Ricky and Carol,
Andrew and I had some really good memories of Thanksgivings. One year he even taught me how to climb a tree and how to get over a fence. Not to mention when we used to play in the basement and build things out of Homer's scrap wood. Although we werent very close lately, I will dearly miss him. Not only did I lose a cousin, I lost one of my favorite childhood friends. Im very sorry about the loss. I love you guys, and I love you too Andrew. I'll keep you in all my prayers.

My favorite memory of Andrew is how much fun he had being Spencer's "buddy" at Bruce & Annette's wedding. What a happy, joyful kid! He grew into a remarkable young man. My heart grieves for you and with you, and I send you all my love. J

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this painful time. And thank you for allowing all the kids to say goodbye, it was a loving thing to do.

Andrew was truly remarkable, one of a kind. He was one of my favorite students during my student teaching experience this year with Jim Combs, Advanced U.S. History at Lafayette High. He had such an insight into the history of our nation that many do not develop until college. He touched my life with his presence and kept me on my toes, able to see and argue both sides. I will forever remember Andrew, his sharp mind, and his flaming red hair. God bless and my deepest sympathy.

Dear Carol,
While we didn't know you and Andrew long, we strive to be the kind of "scouting" family you are--always with that adventuresome attitude. We are so sorry for your loss--it is also a big loss for the scouting community.
Sincerely,
Ted, Sondra and Ian O'Canna

Ms. Graham,
Travis and I want to say how deeply sorry we are for your loss. From the little that you talked about Andrew on Friday during the field trip, I could ascertain that he was a great son and was loved very much.
If there is anything that Travis and I can do for you and your family, please let us know. You have been an integral part in Travis's education and we wanted to let you know that your family is in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Dorcas and Travis Beatty
