Ryan Yanik Memoriam

In Loving Memory of

Ryan Angelo Yanik

2/18/1982 - 9/18/2003

10th Anniversary

The angels gathered near

your side so very close

to you. For they knew

the pain and suffering

that you were going through.

I thought about so

many things as I held

tightly to your hand. Oh

how I wished that you

were strong and happy

once again, but

your eyes

were looking homeward

to that place beyond

the sky where Jesus held

his outstretched arm

it was time to say

good bye.

I struggled with my

selfish thoughts for I

wanted you to stay

So we could walk

and talk again like we

did… just yesterday,

But Jesus knew the

Answer and I knew you

loved him so. So I gave

to you life's greatest gift

the gift of letting go.

So loved and missed

Love Mom, Mike, Brandon & Nina
