Hey brother -

I am up in D.C. this week for the memorial - they had the candlelight vigil last night and when they read your name, it was hard to hear. I made an etching of your marker on the wall and saw all the things people left for you and it made me cry.

I know you are still watching down on all of us from up in heaven and you will always be in my thoughts. I will never forget you brother!

Till we meet again - remember heroes never die!

The love I have for you will never die! I promise you that, and missing you tortures me daily but I know along with EVERYONE else telling me.......you want me happy. I am leaving in the morning to go and I know it's going to be tough but like always, I will be there for everything that happens to you and for you and especially this week. I do have to tell you, I am still waiting for you to come home to me or call me, and to be honest, I don't think that feeling will ever go away. I am and always will be so proud to be your girlfriend, your babe, your fiancee' (just without a ring), your best friend and your secret admirer........although it's definitely not a secret. I love you more than words will ever ever express and I know that with your help I can put the pieces of my life and heart back together and live the life you wanted me to have, until we can be together again. Yes, I know they are ALL just rumors, what you said to me always I will hold to be true! I think this year is harder than the last. It's hard without you by my side but I know no one can break me because my love, my angel is always there! God bless you and thank you for what you did.......you and the Lord truly worked miracles this week. I love you and rest assured I always will!!

love you little boy =)

Ryan, Well I have been going to church A LOT lately and I know you are there with me. I feel you all around me when I am there. I know this month is going to be so hard for your mom. But she is an amazing woman and I will be sending her cards to try to help her with this time. I know your Birthday is coming up =*( I know we will go out to dinner for your b-day and visit the marker. I just wish you were here. I cant say that enough! I miss you so much, I wish you could see Dana & I. I know you would be so happy, God do I wish you could have sat down and had dinner with both of us. I know you are with us now but its not the same. I miss you so much Ryan. Please keep watching over all of us and please help me go in the right direction! Please keep going with me to church! I miss you so much Ryan and I will be here for your Mom! Love Always, Shannon (Umpa)

Ryan,
We will be traveling to Tallahassee for the memorial. I have already ran my hand across the piece of granite where you name will be etched. It is never what I wanted for your life. It makes me think of all that will never come to be. The memorials will be very emotional and at the same time an honor to your life.
Many people have been working hard to get the bill passed that bears your name. We have made many trips to the capitol in Tallahassee to let the politicians know how urgent it is to get this bill passed. We got so close this time but it looks like we will have to start over next year. I will not give up on this bill. I have made a promise to you that I will see it passed.
So many events are coming...Mother's Day, your birthday and the memorials in Tallahassee and D.C.. I must tell you that it is overwhelming.
The missing of you, son, never stops. You are always with me. I am so proud to be your mom. I love you, Ryan.
Love, mom

Hello there buddy! Well the little one was born on March 15, 2007, and yes you were on my mind that day in the delivery room. I know you were there for me watching over me making sure everything was going o.k. I also know what you would have been saying to me(haha). Your family is just as amazing as you are. Your mother wrote Baby Easton a letter that is wonderful and your dad and Lori have sent so many great gifts for him. Also grandma/grandpa Seguin, your aunts/uncles, and cousins have also sent baby Easton wonderful things and have been keeping in touch with Eric and I through the whole pregnancy/birth. We are looking forward to going back up to Alpena this summer. We have been getting ready for the memorials that are coming up next week. They will be hard to handle. Well I will be going back to work in a few weeks, not looking forward to it, but I know you will be there for me.
We miss you
love ya

Ryan,

I just wanted to leave you a little message letting you know I miss you! I know I will never ever forget you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I talk to you every night; and every time the song comes on I know you are there with me watching over me. You make me want to be a better person. You followed ur dreams and I want to do the same. I want to make you proud! I know I will see you again someday in Heaven and we will be able to talk about everything and joke around again together. But I miss you being here and making fun of me and cracking jokes on me *Ur Umpa*.... I will never forget you Ryan. You will always be in my heart and memories! Till we meet again! I miss you so much! Please keep watching over all of us! I will keep talking to you ever night!
Love, Shannon (Umpa)

Hey Ryan,
Well things are slowly moving along with the hopes of entering into an academy this fall. I have one test down and have one more to go. I can't apply to the academy until mid May, but I'm taking care of those pre-academy requirements. There's not a minute that goes by that I'm not thinking about becoming an officer. Like I've always said I hope I can do it...and do it well. Anytime those little doubts sneak up on me I think of you and try and push them away. I will keep you updated on things as they progress. Thanks for giving me the nudge to continue every now and then.

Hey Ryan!

Just wanted to say hello. We had Field Force training on Thursday. I wont say too much about it other than it was hot and boring, you know the rest. I really hate wearing all that riot gear, marching back and forth sweating to death. I looked at pictures from last years training. That picture is forever burned in my memory. The picture of you and Brian 2 years ago at training makes me laugh. It just wasn't the same without both of you this year. I miss you. Keep watching down on me. Love ya Brother

My dearest son,
Words can't even express how much I miss you. There are so few moments that you are not in my thoughts.
I was remembering when you turned 16 and called me from the Blytheville airport and said you were ready to do your solo flight. You were so excited. You said get here quick. Earl and I drove over to the airport and I remember saying to Earl "Do you think he's ready?" Earl assured me that the instructor would not let you go solo if he didn't think you were ready. We watched you take off on the first flight alone and I was thinking you were on your own.We watched you do touch and gos and heard you on the radio. You were a natural. It was so amazing to watch you fly alone. When you landed the instructor cut your tee shirt and hung it on the airport wall along with everyone else who had completed their solo flight. You had a smile from ear to ear. We were so proud of you. I said to you when you fly again that I didn't want you speeding. You looked at me and laughed. I knew that day I couldn't always be there to protect you but I knew you would always try and make the right choices.
I always kissed and hugged you a lot while you were growing up and even continued as you became an adult. I know sometimes it bugged you because you were " all grown up." In my eyes there were never too many hugs and kisses. I would give anything to hug and kiss you now. I love you my son. I miss you more than words can say.
all my love always,mom

Ryan, I pass your marker every day and wish it didn't happen. When I pass, my four year old son has learned to look over and say, "Thank you Mr. Ryan."

Ryan,

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you! Not a day goes by that I don't think about all of our memories and fun times we had together. I am so blessed to have had you in my life. I know it was for a short time and if I could go back in time I would change that Wednesday night. I swear I would do anything to bring you back to your family and friends. We all miss you so much. I know it has been a year already, but still we will ALWAYS miss you. I will NEVER Forget you. Dana & I talk about you all the time. I know you are here watching over all of us. Please help your mom stay strong. She is an amazing woman! I remember the picture you used to always have in your vest. I always have your picture with me no matter where I am. I miss you Ryan so much & I swear if I could do anything to bring you back I swear I would. But I know deep in my heart you are safe with God and you are able to watch over everyone at the same time now. I miss you so much and love you Ryan!

Dana & I are Always here for your mom I promise! Keep helping us be strong Ryan please. I Miss You!
Love Always, Ur Umpa/Old Sis

Dearest son,
The one year mark has now passed.I now find myself thinking about the years to come that will be spent without you. This is very hard to fathom in my mind. My missing of you will never end.
Grandma and Grandpa are visiting right now and I find my self thinking how excited you always were when you knew they were on their way. We both couldn't wait till they arrived. I know you are here with us but how I wish with all my heart and soul that none of this ever happened to you. What I wouldn't do to have you back.There will never be anything harder to survive than losing you. When you were killed that night parts of me went with you.
It is Spring Break here now and everywhere I look there are young adults so carefree, having fun, living life. It's hard as it reminds me of you. There are so many events you will never be able to celebrate. All of our lives changed in one horrific second.
Ryan I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
I love you son.
all my love,always

I just wanted to come by and say I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I have the gift your mom gave me up in my window so the sun hits it every morning.. I wake up to the sunlight & your tattoo. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you Ryan & miss you. Life just isnt the same without you here. I know you are still with all of us watching over us, but its so hard not 2 have you here cracking jokes & making me look like a moron that I am... I promise I will never ever forget you or any memory we ever had. I will keep our memories close to my heart and talk about them every chance I get. I miss you Ryan! Please help me take the right path in life, because lately I have been taking all the wrong paths. I hope you can help guide me to the path I should be going down. I wish you were here so bad to just grab dinner with us and see that Dana & I are friends again =*( I wish we could have put our past behind us when you were still here. That is the one thing I will always regret.. But I know you are proud now and with us everytime we go out. Miss you Ryan Always & Forever, till we meet again in my heart & memories is where you will stay. Love You Tina and I am always here for you, and I am so proud of how strong you are and that you are getting this law passed in Memory of Ryan! I know he is so proud of you & helping you every step of the way. Stay Strong for Ryan **HUG** (MISS YOU RYAN)

Ryan,

I just wanted to say I miss you. It's funny how everything happens for a reason. I woke up on February 15,2007 in the hospital, they told me I arrived dead. I could not stop thinking why on this day. It's been a very hard year, a year of my tears and angry feelings, but now I know that everything happens for a reason. See you later ok. luv u

Ryan, today was so hard. I tried to be strong, I really did. But when the bag pipes started and seeing your mom and dad crying, I just couldnt hold it back anymore. I cant even hold the tears back now. I miss you so much. You have made a huge impact on everyone down here. The day you left us, the story was on the news over and over and over again. I called Shannon in the middle of the night in complete shock, asking her to put the news on to tell me they werent talking about you. I wanted it to just be a bad dream. I know I can still talk to you whenever I want. Though its hard not hearing your responce back. My last memory of you is when you flew past me in the Public Safety Building my first day there. I called out to you, but you were already gone. If only I could have talked to you one last time....I hope you like the balloons, flowers, etc that we put up at your marker today. Thank you for protecting us while we were there. It is so hard for me to even go near 136th. This was the first time I was able to get out without the feeling of being faint. I knew I had to do it. For you and for your mom. She gave me such a huge hug ealier and I just didnt want to let go. She is an amazing mom and funny too! I know you are at peace since you told me so. I promise I will do everything I can to make you proud of me while I am still hear on earth. I love you so much and miss you tons. Till we meet again. Guide us and Protect us.

~Love ALWAYS,
Danielle
