Just know that we will keep you in our prayers and that he is now with the Lord and that Jesus is side by side with him now and his troubles are now with the Lord. We will be home in June on the farm if you want to talk.
God bless all of you Love, Bruce, Milea & Michael King

Jeff, Sue, Scott & Tom,
We were so very sorry to hear of Ryan's death. Words cannot express what we are feeling. We didn't know the man Ryan, but do remember quite well the boy Ryan. Hold fast to your memories as you prepare to say "good-bye for a little while" and to God's promise that we will all be together again.
Love & Prayers always - David & Linda Watkins
