Ry,
Not a single minute goes by that I don't think of you. I really don't think it ever will.... I keep getting these signs from you and I know you are probably having a ball up there & I know you know I'm trying to figure out a way to come be with you. You were and always will be my heart and love of my life! Living (yes I know not really existing isn't living, but I just don't see a point to "life") my life without you is to much to bare. I found the tape recorder you must've carried around in ur pocket and just sit here and listen to it over and over again. I've tried to pretend to get past your death and I just can't. I want to be with you... I will find a way. I miss you so very much! Hopefully I'll see you sometime really soon... I love you very much

Ry Ry,
I got a sign from you today... I wasn't sure if you still thought of me from up there but now I know for sure you're watching over me! I was on Facebook today and I always knew you had MySpace but when I looked for you on Facebook I didn't find you so I thought for sure you didn't have one. But today I got a suggestion to be friends with a Ryan Joseph and sure enough it was you. I've been feeling really down lately and all I wanted was to join u up there... I was begging God to reunite us. Of course he hasn't yet but seeing that made me feel like one day he will. I tried to do a search for you and can't find your account anymore but I know you're there watching over me. I love you Ryan and always will! XOXOXOXOXOXO

My friend who was like a brother to me just came up and will be with you and you 2 together are going to be trouble, but heaven needs fun like you 2. I love you and always will!

Ry Ry, I just feel like there's so much I want to tell you and talk to you about (which I do but these times I can't hear you) ... My cousins just passed and I need you to do me a favor and look out for them please. You and I just moved to Natrona Heights which I know you have to feel better here then at my moms. I also found the tape we made and Emily said she'll put it on DVD for me, and I just have this feeling in my heart that your wonderful chuckle is on there which is something I really need to hear right now! I'm gonna go now but I wanted to say thank you for showing me our sign that your still here yet up there happy... See you as soon as possible! I love you Ry Ry and always will!

Your niece found a locket last weekend and asked if I could find pictures of you and grandpap to put in them so that you both could always be close to her heart. I wish you both could have spent more time with her. You would be so proud of the beautiful young girl she is growing up to be. I know it had been years with few words between us but I truly thank the lord our last time speaking to each other was of kind words. As we spoke of memories of you both tonite, we laughed, we cried but in the end, found comfort in believing you are at peace now and watching over all the loved ones youve left behind. She will love you forever and I will promise to keep the memories of you and your dad alive in her heart for all the years to come.

Ry Ry... I have dreams constantly of my beautiful life with you, I wake up sometimes and think the past year and 7 months were just a long nightmare & get all excited to go out in the living room like It's Christmas or something and I get to go out of my room and see ur smiling face or hear that never forgettable laugh of yours & realize I'm still living my nightmare. I know our babies lylah n rainee still wait for the same thing as me which is to meet u in heaven again! Until then I keep trying to make sure I do only good in my life so I get to be with u again & just try to make u proud of me, I know sometimes I fail big but I just pray to God to forgive me and help me do whatever I need to do to be forgiven so that i can come hear that laugh & see that smile we all miss so much! ... me & the girls love & miss u. ... until we meet again my love!

It's hard to understand why anyone is taken away from us. Sometimes solace can be found in fond memories of that person and help us to remember the life they had.
I will always remember Ryan's generosity, his silly jokes, his chicken soup, how he always dressed to the nines, and how much he loved my best friend.
God Bless you, Ryan. You will be missed...

I remember Ryan from the old Nativity days hanging out and playing basketball at Perry field and Chatham school. I am both shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I pray that the Kelly family finds strength in these tough times.
