Ryan,
It is one of those days again. Feeling down and missing you. I dont think the pain of loosing you will ever go away. I miss you every day and wish you were here to see all that is going on here. I wish we could have one more day with you to see you, hug you and crack jokes with you. I know that old saying Cherish everyone who is in your life, I did. You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. You made me cry cause I would be laughing so hard. My cheeks would hurt for days cause I laughed so hard with you. I wish we ALL could just have one more day with you to truly tell you how much we love you and how much of a friend you were to all of us. I know I will see you again soon and I know you are up there watching over me. I talk to you all the time & the memories will NEVER fade! I miss you so much Ryan & never will I ever forget you! I miss you more than words could ever explain. Please know I will see you again someday in Heaven! Then we can laugh and crack jokes on eachother again. Ur umpa misses you TONS! This girl in my school had an Umpa song yesterday and I almost cried cause that was your nick name for me =( I know you are always around me Ryan & at the concert when they played that song I know you were there I felt you! I miss you my Jim Carey. Until we meet again, in my heart is where I will always keep you my friend!

Son,
It's one of many days that I am missing you terribly. I opened the closet and saw your baseball glove. I could't touch it. I only just looked at it remembering that you once had it on your hand. I know you are in heaven but that doesn't stop me from wanting you back. I can feel a huge lump in my throat and an emptiness that never leaves me.
I know you were with me when I went to Paris. I was in many churches and in each one I lit a candle for your life. The churches brought me to tears. Each one was so beautiful.
I am trying to go forward but as you know it takes every bit of my strength. I think if only I could call you, talk to you, give you a hug. Only in my dreams are there hugs. I know I will be with you again.
I love you,Bum. All my love,mom

Officer Seguin,
I came across your reflection as it was featured tonight and I wanted to leave a few words. To your family my heart goes out to them and the pain and loss that they feel. I know all to well the emptiness that you feel everyday of not being able to see or talk to Ryan. I pray that God will wrap you in His love and give you the strength that you need for each day you face. It is the wonderful memories that also help keep us going. I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you Officer Seguin for the Sacrifice you gave in protecting the lives of others.

I know it will take time but please help him be strong and get threw this! Dana & I miss you soooooo much! I know you are watching over her for me, I know you see she has a bf now who asked her to marry him and move to Alaska. If it all works out that way please please please watch over her, as I wont be able to see her when she moves & you know how hard that will be. But if this is where her life is to go please keep a close eye on her as you know she is my best friend, family and sister I never had. We miss you so much Ryan! But I know in my heart you are up there watching over us and keeping us safe. Love and miss you tons Ryan! *Hug*

Hey Bud,

It's so hard to bring myself to write here,although I find myself frequently coming here. Last week was a tough one. Please hold on to Maury and if he must join you, hold him in your arms and guide him into heaven just as I know you were there for Sgt. Reyka. Kim is a strong and kind lady and his children need to know you will be there along side him to seek and bring true justice.

It was so hard to be there during such a difficult time for the BSO family. It brought back so many things. Just to let you know, you will never be forgotten. You were back in news, and on everyones minds last week with all that was going on. Everyone Dad and I ran into, said so many wonderful things about you. You are truly missed. Especially your wonderful sweetie. I'm so glad we got to meet her last week(at last). She's is a sweet girl and Yes I would have definately approved. Dad and I talked with her for a long time and had real nice visit. You know she misses you very much and keeps you with her always. So keep a watch over her and keep her safe.

We saw Kari and baby last weekend. He's awesome. You would love him. I know you would just find a way to tease kari about that little pudgey guy. Kari misses you so much also. I hope you help give her the strength to move on. She loved the car Dad dedicated to you. Your dog is pretty awesome also.

Son, we will continue to live your life and fulfull your dreams for as long as we live. Everything we do, we do it for you. The community here in Alpena has been tremendous in their support for what we are doing to honor you. You WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

God Speed,Son...and I love you everyday for the all of my life.

P.S. Keep lil' Larry safe. He misses you and his family has been so wonderful.

Dear Ryan,
I feel so lucky that I got to meet your mother and step father on vacation last week. I always say God puts people in a certain place for a special reason. I believe you must have been a very special and wonder child, just by the why your mother loves and talks about you. I'll will always have your family in my prays. Thank God for you Ryan. Be your Mother's Angel in Heaven has you were on earth.

I came across your name among the many heroes listed on these pages and wanted to stop and leave a reflection. I know the daily struggle your loved ones face without being able to hear your voice, see your great smile, feel your warm touch and hear your voice. There are no magic words I can offer to help them with their grief except that I know what they feel in their hearts and they are not alone. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and those still on patrol guarding over the Thin Blue Line. You are a true hero.

Poem by Norton

Those we hold most dear,
Never truly leave us.
They live on in the kindness they showed,
The comfort they shared,
And the love they brought into our lives

Where to begin? First I want to say thank you for being my Guardian Angel! I think about you all the time and wish you were still here with all of us. Phil and Lori are amazing and I know they miss you more than words can say. I still can not believe that it has been a year and a half since your passing. It feels like it was yesterday that I got to go on a ride with you and Geoffrey (you know what I am talking about):) That was crazy! So much fun though. I will never forget that. I just want you to know that there isn't a moment that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you terribly.

Ryan,
It's one of those nights that I can feel the deep emptiness of missing you. I wish that I could call you and hear your voice. I miss you more than words can say. I sometimes wonder how I will handle another day without you. When you were little I was always hugging and kissing you. I could always protect you then. As you were growing up, I knew where you were, either up in your bedroom on the computer or at school working on a project. I think of those days often. What I wouldn't give to go back to those times.
Everyday there are so many reminders of you.I'll hear a song or I'll remember something we did together. We spent a lot of time together.
I remember in Memphis when you had finished cutting the grass and you were trying to start the trimmer.(The 5 step trimmer).It was about 95 degrees that day so you were a little warm. I came outside to try and guide you(ya right)on starting the trimmer. We just about went head to head that day in the driveway. We laughed about it later and would continue to laugh about it. Luckily that trimmer didn't last long. You were right it was a piece of junk!
I know you watch over me. As you know there are so many difficult times. The loss of you is so very painful and never leaves me. Son, I will miss you every minute of everyday for the rest of my life. I love you, Ryan Christopher.

Ryan..

I know you were watching down proudly as Bryan graduated from the police academy tonight. I know Shannon and I thought back that that night in 2003 when YOU graduated from the same Hall. Things have been kinda rough lately, please watch over Bryan. Keep him safe as he lives out his dream, protecting our community and serving the citizens of South Florida. We still miss you terribly. Shannon and I still talk about you all the time, looking back to the wonderful, cherished memories of our laughs with you. I love you, Ryan. I miss you, today and always.

LOVE YOU!

Ryan,

I just recently learned about this page from Lori. I have not been ready to come on and read comments, but something told me to go on and read it today. I think about you everyday and wish that you were still here. I spoke to Lori the other day for about 1 1/2 on the phone. She is an amazing person along with your father. I see where you get it from. They miss you terribly and I miss you more than I could ever say. I have been to Swig maybe 3 times since your passing, it just isnt the same without you there. I have to tell you that I have remained friends with a lot of the people you introduced me to. The girls(you know who I am talking about), are wonderful and they have become my best friends. I wish that you were still here. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. You are terribly missed and will NEVER NEVER be forgotten...I know that you are watching over me and I thank you for becoming my Guardian Angel.

Son,
I will be traveling to Alpena for Claire's graduation this weekend. I know that you are so proud of her. You and Claire had a special bond and I know that you will be watching from heaven as she graduates on Sunday.
There will be a void without you as we all gather to celebrate.
I know that you will continue to watch over Claire.
I have been remembering when you graduated in 2000. We all were so excited and proud. As always, I cried at your graduation. I cried for being proud of you and I cried knowing that you would be leaving the house and starting on your own life. The days of you clipping the keys on to your belt and heading out the door to the Germantown High School to work on a theatre or TV project were coming to an end. I knew there would be more proud moments but I also knew that your days living at the house would be over. You would be "leaving the nest" as they say. I just always imagined we would have endless years together.
I miss and love you so very much. You will always be with us.
all my love always, mom

Ryan,
While I was in DC, I realized how precious life can truly be. I met amazing people. One of which was your sister Leslie..She is so funny and so strong. She definetly needed to be there. I believed she helped your mom beyond belief. As soon as I met her we just connected. We later went to a gathering where I thought it was going to be hard on your mom but your sister just cheered everyone up. we even dedicated a song there in honor of you. BAD BOYS BAD BOYS . I had an amazing time with them both. Your mom is so sweet Ryan. You have amazing friends who love you and its true...You will NEVER be forgotten. I dont think they will let anyone forget who you are. It was really touching to meet everyone that rode for you. Just meeting everyone was amazing. I was at the right place at the right time. I went this year thinking that it was going to be easier than the last. But it was harder to see your mom and dad. They loved you. I also got the pleasure in meeting Mrs. Tephford. She told me the story between you two. Im glad I was there this year, I brought some things back for Shannon which I know you put me up to it. Some of the situations that happened there were way to weird to explain. I know that was b/c of you. So thank you.

May 24, 2007

Ryan, I miss you so much! I wish I could have been in DC but I promise Dana and I will go together. We went to the marker as you know for your b-day. And I talk to you everyday and I always pray to you when I am in church. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you and all of our memories together. Words cant express how much you are missed. I hope you keep helping me go in the right direction with my life. I want to make you proud. Ur little Umpa is trying hard to live out her life to the fullest. Yes there are so many wrong roads I have gone down, but now I want to take the right path and start with a new fresh look on life and I pray you are there to help me be strong threw all my decisions I am making with my life. Dana & I miss you so much. And I know you had a HUGE part of us being together again. I never want to looser her again, she is so amazing and thank you for bringing her back into my life. It was what you Always wanted. I hope and pray I make you proud Ryan. I miss you so much & pray you are with me every step of the way. I will NEVER forget you EVER! Your memories are always with Dana & I! I love you and miss you so much Ryan! AKA *My Jim Carey Always*
Love Always,
