"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.  Therefore encourage one another with these words." - 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

It has just been 4 days since we lost our dear friend, Ryan.    I still could not believe he was already gone.  He just texted me last Saturday telling me he was not feeling well due to the progression of the cancer but still willing to fight.  He had a courageous battle against bladder cancer for over a year.   

Many of us would describe Ryan as a kind-hearted, gentle person with a strong sense of humor and loved music.  He was one of the few people who would go out of his way to help you in any way he could.   He was a true friend to those who knew him.

Ryan had a loving family, his wife and three young beautiful children.  We are raising money for his family in this difficult time for medical bills and funeral costs.  Additional funds would also benefit them get through this difficult time.

We are looking to raise as much money as possible to present to the family in the coming days.  I know that in similar times of need, Ryan would do the same for all of us. 

We, especially his family, would appreciate anything you can give – no donation is too small.

Thank you very much.
