Wow yesterday has been 3 years that you past away. Through everything going on in your life no matter what you always made time to come and see Gage. You would see him and bring him the simplest things and he glowed with his smile just like yours. Gage looks so much like you. And he remembers exactly who you are. Miss you fly high and look over Gage forever .

Father we entrust Ryan to your mercy.
You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace for ever.
Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

I only knew you for a while, and what I did know was that you were one entertaining man with a heart of gold. Thank you for being the best neighbor ever, and helping out when we needed it. I will always remember how your face lit up the first time that I gave you a pair of boots.
I am so sorry to the family that you are going through this. I hope that time will heal you, no matter how long it takes.
R.I.P

Nancy and family, I'm just so very very sorry. There are no words of comfort that can reach you Nancy, even if I could think of any to say. I just want you to know I think you're an extraordinary woman with a heart of gold and I'll be praying for you and your family. You're a blessing to all who know you and Ryan was blessed to have a loyal and unselfish mom like you. I hope time lessens your pain if possible and that God holds you in His hands until then. I'm so sorry.
