Mom

In my mind, I see you as you would be today. In my heart, I remember every birthday that we shared. In my life, I am so blessed to have your friends still by my side. Especially Chris and Hinkle. We all miss you.........every single day, not just today. Mom

I don't know this young man, I saw the obituary this morning and looked his web site up. I just spent the last 45 min or so crying my eyes out for ryan and his family. I Liked that he was so close to his mom. I have a 17 yr old son and pray that he and I can have a close relationship like Ryan. I am so very sorry for your loss. He looked like he was absolutley a wonderful young man taken from this life far to soon.

Happy Birthday Ryan! It would be a perfect day for a flight today! Winds are calm in Troutdale and the sky is blue and clear! As always all of your friends miss you very much!

Happy Birthday Ryan. The sun is bright today for you.

I saw the little blurb in the paper today about how Ryan would have been 30. I can't believe that 4 years have passed since we lost him. I know that he is still in our thoughts. Thanks for sharing him through your website. Any of us that knew Ryan will never forget him.

I drive I-5 everyday on the way to work and pass the cross with Ryan's name on it. I knew from the dates on the cross that Ryan died much too young and I often wondered what his life was like. I never read the obituaries but on the 19th of this month, I noticed Ryan's ad and immediately recognized his name. Saw the web address too and made a note to visit. Now I know what a wonderful person he was and I am more saddened. My thoughts are with his family and fiance everyday on the way to work. God bless you all.

Happy 29th, Ry. Words can't explain how much we miss you. We haven't adjusted to the loss, we are just learning to live with it. Love you always.
