Hi Ryan (my honey-bunny). 5 years have gone by. Your mom and me visited you yesterday. We brought some pretty flowers and lots of balloons. Your mom brought you a cute little puppy dog because you like dogs. I hope you got the balloons we sent you. I think of you every single day and miss you more than ever. I love you. |

Ryan: This is PA, I just wanted to let you know that I miss you very very much. At night time when I lie in bed i have a short talk with you to let you know what has happened that day. But I guess you already know that.I often think about time we filled in that spot behind the garage and what fun we had doing that. Take care ole buddy. We'll talk again soon. |

I think that this is a wonderful memorial for your child. I never knew your child, but it seems that everyone who did is a better person because of it. Though his time here was cut short, I am sure he had more than a lifetime of love from the people who knew him. Thank you for letting me see your dedication to your son.

Thank you for such a beautiful web page. What a loving memorial you have created. What a beautiful child you raised and loved for those years you had him. God must be overjoyed to have him back. How lucky for you that the Lord died to save you so that you could be with him again someday. What an awesome and powerful God we have! A&K :) |

Don the life story you wrote was very heart felt (our eyes are still filled with tears). The Angel poem as well was emotional. I guess if we can learn any lesson thru your unfortunate experience that it's to enjoy the life you live to the fullest. God Bless. Pat & Sue De Rieu |
