Message | Precious Angel Ryan, This is the day 10 years ago that we took you to the airport and you flew out alone to Edmonton to begin your journey (date was Feb. 8). Dad and I were broken hearted for ourselves but happy for you. By Monday you had a hitch with Precision Drilling and were gone to Fort Nelson...a vey excited young man called home to tell us he was going to work right away. Everything was going according to plan. Today John Dwyer and Dad went to Jamieson for a photo of the new electronic piano just donated in your memory from your music scholarship fund. The picture is of John, the vice-principal and the music teacher with the piano. Just before Dad left to go to Jamieson, our first blue jay of 2010 landed on the patio and chirped until he got Dad's attention...it was you telling him you thought this was a good thing and John Dwyer was the right person to be there...he was there from the beginning of the scholarship fundraising, along with Natalie and all your friends. Your journey ended much too soon. You loved and enjoyed every moment of your life, but it was over before it really began. We cherish our memories, relive days that were important to us as a family, and miss you so much that we are going through the motions most of the time. And there is nothing else we can do about it except to embrace your friends, love our family and wait to see you again. Until we meet again, all our love forever, Mom & Dad |

Message | I would often visit here, check in on you and I keep your photo next to my desk at work as a reminder to myself that life is too short and way too unexpected so remember to keep things in perspective and work is just a job but family and friends are what is important. I really had no idea what any of that meant until now. I can see you and my dad getting along quite well up there as both of you love music so much and you can whistle and sing while he plays the guitar If you could give him a big hug for me and tell him how much we miss and love him it would mean alot to me. I had no idea how much your family hurt, and how anyone can really make sense of why one is choosen and not another, but I am going to take comfort in that we now have our very own angels looking out for us. Take care Ryan, play a song with my dad and I am sure I will hear it, Carol |

Message | Precious Angel Ryan, We have had seven Christmases without you now...who would have imagined that we could survive this long? The one thing we are thankful for is that our memories of you are wonderful ones. Not everyone is so lucky! We relive our lives before your accident and realize it can never ever be the same; we are doing the best we can. Those who have lost a child truly know the pain...others try, but how could they really understand the permanent heartache we have! You and your angel friends must be having wonderful parties for the season...your beautiful whistle has to be so musical along with the guitars and singing...we miss you so much. Until we meet again, Lots of love forever, Momma & Dad |
