I remember the night Ryan was born. Michael called to say the cord was wrapped around his neck and both Janis and Ryan were having a difficult time. I immediately left a party I was at, flew home and thre some things in the suitcase and flew to MN to be with you. When I arrived I found out that Ryan had already been born and both Mom and son were OK. We all rejoiced. Now I think back to that day and realize how blessed we are in our life that the future sorrows we will experience in our life are clouded from our sight. This permits us to live unafraid, always praying knowing that God stays with us both in our joys and sorrows if we just ask him to stay by our side. Rest in peace Ryan and Janis and MIchael, find comfor in your hearts knowing that he is resting in peace. Love, Mom

Ryan once again I write you though you probably already know my heart. It will be your 28th this Friday and I wish that I could bake you a cake and watch you eat it. I know what my present is to you this year, it is my love and constant thoughts about you. Well my eldest son remember that I always told you everything I did with my children I did with you first. All my love Dad

So there is no where else to send you a message though you probably see and hear everything we do. We have passed the 2 year mark since your death dear son and we looked back at your life with family in Black River Falls. I can say son that this has not been an easy time for us. We miss you so much. Your mom always says that you are at peace now and that may be true but I would love to hold you in my arms once again if only for a moment and say that I love you. Take care of us Ryan.

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion".
Dear Ryan,
Rukus is with you again. We grew to love him so much and will always miss the humor and love he brought to us each day. Except for Maggie I have never loved a dog as much as I have loved Rukus. Losing him is even more difficult because of the bond we had with you through him, it feels like losing another part of you. I told you that he was coming and asked that you be the first person he saw when he crossed over. The fact you are together again brings me comfort and I know that one day I too will see you both again. Until that day I continue to love and miss you.
Mom

Dear Michael, I know how you grew to love Ruckus and I am so sad that you had to let him go. I am hoping that your images of Ryan and Ruckus playing together in Heaven now can sustain you in your grief. Maybe you could add an audio to your visualizations and imagine hearing Ryan comforting Ruckus as he tells him, "You won't have to wear those weird clothes that my Dad put on you anymore--but hey, we gotta thank him for taking care of you-otherwise, you would have been up here a lot sooner. And, you know that I wanted you to stay and help my Dad--so he wouldn't be so lonely. And hey, another thing--I didn't know that anyone else could ever love you Ruckus--guess I was wrong." And then, imagine Ryan's voice trailing off as you watch them run off and duck behind a cloud--and you hear Ryan yell out, "Hey--Thanks Dad. I love you and so does RUFF RUFF Ruckus!"

Dear Michael, Janis, Stephen and Patrick:
Just wanted to send our thoughts and prayers to each one of you. I had no idea that this guest book was still available to write in; I'm glad it is. I know that you've now experienced Ryan's first birthday since he died. Please know that the first time you go through each milestone or previously special day, it is the most difficult. Not to minimize your daily pain, but those holidays etc. can be so tough. I feel that Ryan has been welcomed by all of his gr-grandparents and cousins, etc. who've gone before him, and that they are all together. We still hold all of you in our hearts, and hope you know you have our love. Peace.

July 17, 2007. this is the day we celebrated your birth. Unfortunately you were not with us physically today but I am sure you looked down on us all. I must admit I felt sad today, wishing that you had not left us so soon, so upbruptly. But wishes don't always come true. However, one of my wishes concerning you did come true today. I asked God to send me a sign that you were alright and in God's company. My prayer was answered for tonight at around 8:00 PM I saw the most spectacular rainbow, a double one! It was so vivid, so beautiful and I just knew that it was God's sign to me that all was well with Ryan. I thanked God for that special moment. with love and tears, your Grandma Keyes

Janis, Michael, Patrick, and Stephen,
First of all I want to say "I'm sorry" for the time that it has taken me to sign Ryan's memorial guest book. No excuses, just a simple apology. I am just so very sorry for your loss.
My clearest memories of Ryan are when he was a young boy and my family and your's both lived in, or near, the city. He was a happy, outgoing, delightful child with a smile that lit up the room. As a young boy, Ryan always ran up to me with a big hug whenever I visted the Keyes' house.
I also have many fond memories of sitting in your back yard kiddie pool with Janis and the boys on a few hot summer afternoons, just whiling our time away.
Ryan was a beautiful son, and I know that he is in a beautiful place.
May God bless all of you.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength you need this season.

We learned of the loss of Ryan today. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. We can't even begin to imagine the loss and pain you feel over losing your child. May the faith of the Lord sustain you in this time of need. Our memories of Ryan will always be of you covering him with kisses, leaving your first baby, for the first time, as we left for Florida. "Ruthie" always spoke of what a happy-go-lucky little guy Ryan was. May the memories of the happy times be with you and your family, always.
Our Love & Sympathy,

Thank you to all who have written. We are thankful to have this permanent site for Ryan. If anyone would also send memories and stories of him, either on this site or to our email address, we would love to have them. There are no words to express our gratitude for the love and support our family has been given so maybe just these simple words say it best, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Janis, Michael, Stephen and Patrick Keyes.

Michael and Janis- The greatest gift you can be given if not a son of your own, a godson. I was proud to be Ryan's godmother, what a gift to be given. I will always remember how cool Ryan thought I was, even after telling him that I was the same age as you Janis. I also will never forget him standing on the couch when he was young waiting for the UPS man to bring him a gift from me, or how he asked me to make him a box of bows and send it to him. Thank you both for allowing me to be such an important part of Ryan's life.
Stephen and Patrick, I love you both and I am always here to listen. Stephen, continue in your quest to recover, I know you can do it and I also know that Ryan is watching you and giving you his support. Patrick, win, win and keep on winning where ever life takes you and know that Ryan is cheering for you.
Love, Peggy

Dear Michael, Janis, Stephen and Patrick,
At times like these words seem so inadequate. Nothing takes away the pain or fills the loss. Somehow sharing them seems to make them more bearable. I know that it did for
me when my sister Ann died. Please know that Raye and I send you our
heartfelt condolences and sincerest prayers. May God give you peace and
may Ryan find rest in Him.
Love,

I can't bring Ryan back Michael, I can only be here for you, Janis, Stephen and Patrick and help you know Ryan's spirit as he lies within your soul--forever your son and beloved firstborn.

My dearest children, Michael my son, Janis, my dearest daughter in-law and my treasured grandsons, Stephen & Patrick, how will we ever get over this terrible sadness we hold in our hearts, minds and souls? We know Ryan is finally at peace and will never experience the hardships of life again. But somehow, some way, we must all find the strength to carry on, to continue to live, to reach out not only to one another with love, but to all those we meet. God blessed us with Ryan's presence for a short time so his memory will ever be imprinted on our hearts. So let's take these memories and the love and always hold each other in the comfort of God's love. Know that your Dad, Gandpa, and I will always be there when you need us. All you have to do is call. I just wish that we didn't live so very far from you. And that is a sadness for me because I can't just hug you all whenever I want or whenever you are feeling sad. And to you my dear Stephen, know that I am hugging you with my heart and soul every day and every night. I love you all. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our (my) family! Love Mom, Grandma Keyes

I doubt Mike you remember me from the Edgerton days but your brother Patrick has kept me informed about you and your family down through the years. I had the privilage of living with Patrick in the Amazon for several years. His letter or note to me tonight was not the same, it was filled with sorry on the news of your son Ryan's death. Not knowning Ryan I still feel a tremendous void tonight in my life. Please know that we hold Ryan in prayer, along with you, your entire family and friends.
Sincerely, Br. Leo Patin, C.Ss.R.

Dear Janis, Michael, Stephen and Patrick,
I was close to Ryan when I was growing up. Ryan was a thoughtful person and he helped me through one of the most difficult times of my childhood with his sense of humor and his concern for my well-being. At a time when I needed someone to cheer me up, he was there for me and he really cared about how I felt. Oh I wish I would have known he needed help because I would have been there for him in a heartbeat. I am just so sorry you have lost Ryan. He was a selfless person who truly and honestly cared for others more than for himself. I'll always remember how he made me laugh when I thought it impossible. Love, Sean

To Ryan, now you may rest in peace. I will always cherish what we shared, and thank you for loving me. To his family, my prayers are with you.

Dear Michael, Janis, Steven and Patrick -
What can I say? Words seem so inadequate. Please know that I offer my prayers and ask God (and Cliff) to enfold you in His arms, granting you comfort!
A Mass for Ryan and all of you is being said on Saturday at 5:30 PM at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish.
Much love - many prayers -
Aunt Rose
