My mom is Amy Carmichael. I didn't realize I had so many relatives. I had tears when I heard about your son. We don't understand the "Whys" but Jesus knows our every sorrow. He is with us always, and He loves us so. We're praying for you and your family. The Lord will give you strength for each new day.

Love, Jean and Stan

Dear Dick and Diane,

You don't even know me but Janelle and I have been emailing each other for while now and it saddens me to get the email of your loss. I know when I lost my brother Kris it was the saddest day of my life. May God will bless you during this time of sorrow and bring happiness into your life soon.

Dick and Diane:

Please accept my deepest condolences on the death of Ryan. I cannot even begin to fathom what you are going through right now. During the brief time we worked together, he struck me as a well mannered and polite young man. He will be greatly missed.

Dearest Dick, Diane and Family:

The news of Ryan's death was shocking to say the least. They say you don't know ones pain, until you've experienced it yourself. I can't imagine. But I do know One that has lost His one and only son. I trust during this difficult time and the time that lies ahead - you will lean on God and trust Him to bring all you need in order to go forward. God loves you and knows your pain. Remember that, when you feel like you can't go on. We love you and will be praying for all that have been affected by your loss. With Love, Hugs and Prayers, Your Cousin, Laura

Dear Dick and Diane,

We are very sorry about the loss of Ryan. He was a very important part of our lives. We will miss him deeply. Our prayers are with both of you and your family. As important as Ryan was within our family, it is but a fraction of the love we know you showed him.

Since the first time I spoke to Ryan,about a years ago, I noticed that he was one of the few people that would always listen. His unique ways of giving advice made it harder to believe he's gone.His sence of humor,and outgoing personality will never be forgoten....We'll miss him.

I met Ryan about 2 years ago, and when I met him, he was the most considerate person I had ever met. I had spoken to him several times in the past 2 years, and I am sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and his girlfriend at this time.
