Thank You Frankie for touching our hearts. I will be relentess in the pursuit and eradication of vaccine preventable disease everyday. I will carry Ryan's story in my mind and heart so that I am strong in the face of obstacles. May God Bless You and May His Face Continue to Shine Through You! Danny Merck Just wanted to stop by to let you know I am thinking of you and Ryan today. God bless you, on valentine's day this year, one of my best friends past away really sudden and i can swear thats he's looking out for me. just the other day, when i was getting ready for school, i got this feeling, like someone was telling me to stay home a bit longer and don't take the bus i use to take. so i waited for half an hour, dispyte that i didn't have any real reason for it. so i took the next bus and everything went fine until the bus suddenly stopped. the bus that i was supposed to be on had been in a carcrash! 2 people died and many had to go to the hospital. i'm still well and alive and i have allan to thank for it.

My thought's are with you and your's as I have lost as well. This web site is done well for your Son Praying for your Family thinking of you in my Prayers Battling my own grief, I can hardly see to type this to you-so moved I am by your loving testimony. For the second time this night, I have been moved to many tears. The incredibly compassionate funeral home where Daddy's service was held had a "In Rememberance" service tonight. I'd never heard of such a memorial myself, but let me tell you - it was quite a revelation. And what a revelation it was! I contribute the progress (slow as it seems)I've made in facing my grief to my unfailing faith. There at Raymonds Funeral Home, I heard-for the first time - "My First Christmas In Heaven". The tears I shed at the reading of those Holy Spirit inspired words were tears of blessed healing & much needed. That poem led me to your site & my heart led me to share my grief with yours. My faith, along with the scripture "To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord", and the knowledge that in Christ, there are no good byes, has been my greatest sourse of comfort.What more could I want or wish for my most loved Daddy? I pray that God continues to guide you on the path of His all knowing plan, enables you with the strength to do so, and lays His loving & faithful hand on your heart in comfort & peace, and I very much thank you for sharing. In Christ's Loving Name, Connie

So sorry for the lost of your son to this terrible disease. I lost my beautiful 19 month old daughter Freya to pneumococcal meningitis in April 05. We live in the UK where the vaccine for this disease has still not been introduced, Life is very hard without Freya, she was a child who touched the lives and hearts of everyone.

Bob and Frankie--Tonight I logged on to Ryan's website because I was thinking of him and of you. Tears filled my eyes as I read these pages even though they were things that I had read before. God is using you both for His glory and honor. Thank you for heeding His call. You, Bob and Frankie, will always hold a very special place in my heart; you are both special people who have such a deep love for other people. You are heroes of mine and I will never forget you or your son. I still cannot wait until I get to meet him in heaven and I'm sure that he and Kory hang out at the throne of God together. I love you and miss you, Bob and Frankie!

When I was reading your story on what happen to your son, I started to cry. I'm so sorry for what happen to your son. I had a friend in high school who had meningitis. She was really sick and she lost her two legs, but she lived. I wished your son could of lived. Remember, he is watching over you 24/7. No matter what, he will always be in your hearts, ALWAYS! All my prayers are with you. Take care.

I didn't know Ryan, but i know how hard it is to lose someone you love. I'm 13 years old and my older brother died from a car accident on November 18, 2004.......his best friend kristin died on November 13, 2004....they were both 16 and juniors in high school. They were in an accident on Nov. 13th and Kristin died that day, my brother survived for 5 days after the crash. The accident was 2 days after my moms birthday. Kristin would have turned 17 on Dec. 13. They never got a chance to go to their senior prom, graduate, go 2 college, or even get married. I really miss having an older brother....someone that my 9 year old little brother and i can look up 2. If u want 2 look at their memorial websites....they are... www.traviswoerner.com and www.kristinmarierice.com. god bless u all and don't forget 2 tell all the ones u love that u really care about them......because they may not b here tommorow.

Dear Frankie and Bob, Just wanted to let you know that I still think of Ryan all the time. I was in the process of moving and looking through pictures of prom. I just remember how much fun we all had that night. It is one of my fondest memories of high school and I am so thankful that Ryan was a part of it. He is dearly missed but it helps to see all the lives he has touched since. You are in my prayers. Love, Kelly

I just now read about what you have gone thru, I as a father I could not even come close to knowing what this would be like. I read where some one else wrote in the guess book that life is not fair, and that can be so true in many way, but we do have a Savior, Jesus Christ who no doubt is fair, and we can depend on Him. He proved His love for us upon that cross so 2,000 years ago when we died for our sins.

It seems that you have found true confort in God thru Jesus. From my house to your house I do wish God's blessing upon you and all of your family. Thou we have never met, with Jesus as our Savior one day we shll be in heaven together and our thought will be to finally see God our Father and Jesus our Savior. What a grand reunion day that will be.

May God Bless, Bro. Jerry

My thoughts are with you We lost our daughter also to menginitis on 8th March 2003 and we miss her every second of everyday since. We were once such a happy family, but this has destroyed our lives. Her name was Janine and she made us and everyone who knew her so happy because she was such a funny girl always joking and also she was so kind . Only the good die young. Love to you all from the Broomfields in Ireland

I pray for you all {the family of Ryan} and hope that you never lose your faith in God. Ryan is gone to a far better place- I know he would want the family to keep a smile on their face.

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. As a bereaved parent myself I can understand your pain. This is something we should never have to go through. I lost my 8 year old son on July 16, 2003. When he left a huge part of me went with him. Life can be so unfair at times. Hugs to you..

My parents are miles away and I miss them alot. I was browsing the internet and I came across a photo collage of Ryan...and decided to go through it. I was crying while I read the tragedy.

Ryan, I read about you in the Tomball Potpourri newspaper today (11-26-03) and was touched by your story. I now know to have my little girl vaccinated so she will be safe from this disease. Thank you for your family's testimony. I know you are looking down on them from Heaven and watching out for them daily.

Our 18 year old son Adam, contracted meningococcal disease in August 2003. Thankfully it was God's will to return him virtually unharmed.

We discovered your site whilst researching the disease during his recovery and was deeply touched by your devastating loss. So much of what you told about your experiences up to the moment the Lord took Ryan home, struck such a chord. It's funny, how, while we, as a family, rejoice in being blessed with the return of our son, we feel such pain for you and all the other families who have lost their most precious possessions.

Now tht Adam is recovering and life is slowly returning to normal, I find myself returning to your site often. For me personally, it serves to remind that I should never take my childrens prescence for granted and to appreciate and love them for the individuals they are, through good times and bad. I now find myself looking at Adam doing things, which once wound me up, and smiling at his antics, before whispering a silent prayer of thanks for the gift of having such a wonderful son.

I pray that you find strength in the knowledge that you are not alone in your grief. Ryan was obviously a very special and talented young man. Please find comfort in the fact that you were so lucky to have been blessed with him for the time you were.

You are always in our prayers.

The Hayes family, Northern Ireland.

HI FRANKIE, I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK OF YOU ALL OFTEN. AND I KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS. EVEN THOUGH I NEVER CAME AROUND MUCH IN THE LATER YEARS, I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT YOU ALL AND THE MEMORIES I HAVE FROM WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY 3 AT THE TIME,I REMEMBER THE DAY RYAN WAS BORN. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING YOU IN YOUR ROOM, BUT I REMEMBER STANDING OUTSIDE THE NURSERY AND BOB CAME UP TO THE WINDOW WITH RYAN IN HIS ARMS. HE HAD THE PROUDEST SMILE ON HIS FACE. WHEN I WAS AT TOMBALL HOSPITAL AFTER HAVING DAVID AND ISABEL, I REMEMBERED BEING THERE TO GREET RYAN ON HIS FIRST DAY INTO THE WORLD. I STILL LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF US AS KIDS IN PINEHURST, PLAYING IN THE SWIMMING POOL, HUNTING FOR EGGS ON EASTER,TOURING THE BATTLE SHIP AND SUB AT SEA WOLF PARK,AND THE PICTURE OF ME HOLDING RYAN FOR THE FIRST TIME. SOME MEMORIES ARE MADE TO LET GO, BUT THE ONES I HAVE WITH YOU ALL, I WILL ALWAYS HOLD DEAR TO MY HEART. I'VE WANTED TO GO OUT TO RYAN'S RESTING PLACE FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BUT NEVER HAD THE CHANCE. I WANTED TO LEAVE HIM A NOTE LETTING HIM KNOW I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT HIM AND I ALWAYS THINK OF HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE. IT HURTS MY HEART SO, THAT I DRIFTED AWAY FROM ALL OF YOU. I KNOW I MISSED OUT ON A LOT. WELL, FRANKIE, ALWAYS KNOW THAT I CARRY YOU ALL IN MY HEART AND I LOVE YOU ALL. I HOPE TO SEE YOU OR TALK TO YOU SOON. LOVE ALWAYS, (BB) TONYA P.S. WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE TOMORROW FOR HIS BIRTHDAY, TELL HIM HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND WE CAN CATCH UP WHEN WE MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN. PS 62:5,PS 100:4,MATT 6:19-21,EPH 2:8

I am a nurse in a local health department in Missouri. I am presenting a talk today to a group of college students on health risks surrounding their age group. I am also a mother of a five year old son.

When I came across your site, I was reminded of the devastation of meningococcal disease. I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful boy he was, and it is so obvious how much you love him still. He was blessed to have parents such as yourselves.

We offer vaccination with Prevnar and Menomune at our health department, but so many older kids and their parents don't know that Menomune is available. I promise in honor of Ryan, I will promote the vaccination today...to those students.

Sincerely, Cindi Kapica RN BSN

My heart greives with you over the loss of your son. Only a mother who has lost a child can know this pain! Thank God -that HE has given us vision to know HE is taking good care of them and that we will see them again when we sit with our FATHER! My nephew Joey survived from menegitis -but it did a job on his brain and body. He was in coma for 7 days. HE saw Heaven and knows! God Bless Ryan's mom and family! ps.. Joey resembled Ryan -before he got sick-as his facial features changed from the disease. Love Lisa Bryan

Dear loving family and friends of Ryan, I wept after reading your story of Ryan who was a very special person to all of you. I have very difficult time dealing with the harsh and unpredictable reality of death at any given age. I was with my 86 yrs. old mother, holding her hand before she gave out her last breath at the nursing home last year. I said to myself that we all will die so to share this planet earth with someone else. I believe in the Almighty God with my whole heart and I believe that the majority of human race also do believe, although, they express publicly or privately about the existence of God in various ways shown in various of religions around the globe. May the Almighty God bless Ryan, you family members and friends with His everlasting love and keep you strong in facing all kinds of adversity that life brings!Thank you for sharing the loving story of Ryan. Truly, Peter Ohlson

What a sad story. I am happy that Ryan was able to hear his dad say he loved him. I am sure he knew it already. I wish and pray that your family has the strength to keep on living and loving until you meet your angel again one day. That is what keeps me going knowing that one day I will hold my little one again, until than God bless you.

Hello. I found your wonderful web page to Ryan through MFA. I am a 19 year old female who recently had my 19 year old best friend, Misti, pass away from Meningittis. Misti had just gotten married and moved to Fort Bragg, NC to be with her husband. Ryan's story sounded alot like Misti's. The last time I spoke with her was hours before she got sick. By the next afternoon she had passed away. Its been two months now and I still am trying to figure out how to go on everyday without her being around. Everytime I see your site it reminds me that I am not alone and makes me what to do something, although most of the time I just feel helpless. Thank you for sharing your story! God Bless.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your son. I know there is nothing i could say or do to make you feel better. I too recently lost my best friend. She was in the car with her drunk boyfriend and he abused her and wrecked her car, killing her. The URL link i posted is the site i made for her. Once again, i'm so sorry to hear about your son. Just dont' forget he'll forever be in the greatest place of all...Heaven.... watching down on you. May God bless you and your family through all you've gone through. Take care and god bless you!!

It warmed my heart to read you got the "reason" straight from God....it's much easier to live with what is right in our mind. I too lost a son. Jason was 22 at the time of his passing. Way to soon for a mothers heart...but right on "God's Time".

I too know the feeling of loseing the love of a son, even though i did not lose him to this dease.

you were an important part of his young life, many times he would set and talk to me about you, the care you showed him, the love in your heart for him and all children has and will make a difference to some... He has been gone since Dec 15th, 1996 and I never seen nar heard for him. Then one day on Janaury 13th, 2002 a knock came to my door and when I opened the door, there he stood Clayton Robert Brannam after all these years, he came back to visit me tears fell from my face that day and we talked for awhile and one of the frist things he asked was how was Mommy Milly doing, and talked on and on about the class he was in and being the first to go all the way form day one to the end and graduate out of the class. Mommy Milly you have made an impact on some children in this world and you or still Mommy to many.

You have a wonderful family. You were blessed with a beautiful boy. I have simular pain, I lost my daughter, but not to illness, but an car accident. Some how I must have know, because 10 hrs before the accident, I rushed to her apt (she only had 1.5 wks) and started crying, and told her how much I loved her and was afraid of lossing her. She had been through so much in her life, she suffered with being bi-polar, and post tramatic stress syndrom, from being molested at age 3. Two days before she died, she was raped in her apt, by a friends husband, and I honestly believe that God said enough my child, you have suffered enough and took her home and away from anymore pain or hospitaliztions. Thank you for you memorial page.

Last year we did a sponsored walk with Steve Dayman who also lost his son to meningitis he walked 512 miles

Hello. My name is Jessica and I live in Pennsylvania. Idontknow how, but I was doing research just now and I came upon your website. After I started reading it, I figured I had to sign the GuestBook. I do not know much about the cause of your son's death, but I do know what its like to lose someone you care about. If you don't mind I'd like to share a story of mine with you. Almost a month ago I lost a really good friend to a car accient. He was only 16 years old. It was a really hard time for me and everyone in school and of course his family. I just can't believe he is gone. It's unbelievable. He was driving alone, when he lost control of his vehicle on the highway. What makes me cry more is that he was on his way to church. This really affected my life in many ways. I have learned to never take life for granted and to make my life amount to the fullest. I have also learned to cope with losing loved ones, it's a very terrible time, but you just have to keep your head up and always remember the memories. I know I will never forget my friend. And I know that I won't take life for granted anymore. I want to thank you for making this site, it really inspired me in many ways. I am sorry for your loss. Please remember he is in a better place now and God is taking care of him. God Bless you and the rest of your family. If you would, please email me back, just to let me know that you got this message. Thank you very much. Sincerely,

Jessica

I really enjoyed reading about your handsome son ryan, he sounded like a true angel on earth if there ever was one. my friend Dana passed away in 1995 she was 17. Your son probably has a great girlfriend in heaven, because Dana and I always had the same tastes, I think he is beautiful physically, I'm sure he was just as beautiful on the inside as he was on the out!

It helps to know that there are others out there who understand the horror, the terror, and the anguish of losing someone to this monster. I have found a bit of peace here at your site, and thank Ryan for leading me to it.

Bob and Frankie, I came here tonight after I got your e-mail. I thought that I could just look at Ryan's picture and wish that I could have known him...but now the tears won't stop. I know that Ryan was such a fine young man. I know through his friends and I know through you. You are such wonderfully special people that I know without a doubt that you raised a very fine and moral son. I am sorry that you have to suffer this pain and hurt.

I'm listening to this background music and I know that our hearts will go on...even though they will never be the same. I feel such an emptiness sometimes. I know that your pain is very different from mine, but I still know the intense pain of losing someone. People always say that it gets easier in time, but I don't really believe that. We will miss them forever. Today I was watching T.V. and there was an Uncle on a show holding his niece, it shattered my heart into a million pieces, because I know that my children will never experience the incredible love of an Uncle. I love my three uncles so much and they have helped to hold my dad and I up during this time. They are some of my very best friends.

I know that this mother's day is so hard for you. It's so hard for my mom. I don't know what to say to her. But I love and will pray for you both.

I am proud of you both, Frankie and Bob. You will always be in my prayers. I love you. I know that Ryan is proud of his Moma and Daddy Bear. ~*~Forever your Friend~*~

My understanding is with you in the loss of a child, but ours was with an auto accident, at 18 years old. However, I am also a survivor of Bacterial Spinal Meningitis, and know the struggle to come back from that dreaded disease. They are starting to realize that our young people may need a immunization shot for this particular strain of meningitis. I guess I was unusual in that I was an older survivor, being 56 at the time. God Bless you and your family. Without the Lord to hold us, I do not understand what people do.

I am a deputy city clerk for the City of Jamestown, Kentucky and early this morning I received a phone call from one of our police officers that a girl from our high school had been air lifted out from our local hospital last night with meningitis. I have a 15 year old daughter in that school and was very distraught when I received this news. I began doing some research and came across your web page. Ryan was a beautiful young man. My heart and prayers go out to you. I have a 20 year old son and after reading about Ryan I can see that there are a lot of similarities between the two. I cannot even begin to imagine the nightmare that you have lived.

We live in a very small town and usually news travels very quickly, but we haven't heard anything this morning about this young lady. We don't even know for sure if this is viral or bacterial meningitis. I am really scared!! Please say a prayer for her and her family. If you have any advice, please let me know.

Hi Frankie and Bob! It's Jennifer (Terry's daughter). I will always remember the days that my mom, me, Debbie and the girls, Ryan, and Bob would meet at the Kingwood Tennis Courts to practice. I never once thought that I would have to deal with the pain losing someone so close to my heart until I lost my baby brother 6 years ago (November 26, 1994) to a drowning accident. I love you BUBBA!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. We will all miss and cherish our memories with Ryan because we will all see our loved ones again. I love you both. Love always, Jennifer Cox

Hi Frankie and Bob! It's Jennifer! I remember the days when my mom and I, Debbie and the girls, would meet Ryan and Bob at the Kingwood Tennis Courts and practice. I never knew how it felt to lose someone so close to you until I lost my baby brother 6 years ago November 26, 2000. I know how Jared Smith feels because he lost a big brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and we will always remember Ryan. Love always, Jennifer

Dear Mrs. Milley, I knew Ryan but I never really knew him. We had a few classes together and rarely spoke. I know he was a sweet person. I still to this day think he had the most beatiful smile. I wish I could give some beautiful words of concilation but you know the one true reconcilor. I will always remember Ryan and am currently trying to get the vaccine. I hope and know God will bless you richly for your work. I cried right here at my computer seeing the pictures of the young men I remember very well. Take care and love always, Ruthy Smith

Our Children are so prisious to us-- We must show them each and every day! Your site has touched my life and my heart! As I too know the pain you must feel-- I lost my first and only born son 20 years ago. He was 13 months old. He was the light of my life. I was only 20 years old and endured his lose, Without knowing the Lord. Now today,I am 40 and there always will be that LOVE that I have in my heart for my little baby boy. I have 3 beautiful daughters now, a loving husband and we walk each day with the love of the Lord in our hearts! Thank you so for touching me so.... sincerely, Connie Lamb

Dear Frankie and Bob, As I sit here reading Ryan's site, tears are running down my face. I, thank God, have never had to endure the loss of a child, bu my sister did. I'm sure it has got to be the most painful thing there is. Right after he died, we read this somewhere..... When a child buries a parent, they mourn for a while and then they go on, But, When a parent buries a child, they bury a part of themselves forever. I don't know who wrote that, but I know it must be true. The first time I met you, was at the Student Memorial Service at NCHS. I shared with you about my nephew who was a senior at New Caney High when he was killed. He was my best friend. I know how hard it has been without him for the last almost 12 years, and he was not even my child. (it will be 12 years on Feb. 8). I know that he was too much older than Ryan to have known him, but because they both knew Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, I know they can say, "Friends are Friends Forever". Knowing Shane the way I did, I know he has buddied up with Ryan and looking out four your "Baby Boy".

God bless you both, LeAnn Smith

Dear Frankie and Bob, As I sat here reading Ryan's web site, tears streamed down my face. I have never had to endure the loss of a child, but my sister has. When I first met you, at the Student Memorial at NCHS, I shared with you about my nephew being killed during his senior year there at New Caney. Right after his death, we read this somewhere... "When a child buries a parent, they morn for a while, then they go on. But, When a parent buries a child, they bury a part of themselves, forever." I never got the priviledge of meeting Ryan, but I have always heard what a wonderful young man he was. Everyone I meet, that knew him,loved him. I know that even though they attended the same high school, it was too many years apart for them to know each other. But I know that because they both knew Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, they can say "Friends are Friends Forever". Knowing my precious nephew like I did, (he had many friends, young and old alike), he has buddied up with Ryan and is taking good care of him for you. If you ever need anything, just call. I'll be right here. LeAnn Smith I'm glad you are doing what you are about the vaccines, if you need any help with that, you know who to call. I'd be glad to help if I can.

Ryan's Family

I read your pages about what you went through with Ryan. It really made me think about how my parents must have felt when i contacted the same disease last April in Baltimore. I am so thankful that you have made such an effort to inform the world about the devisation this can cause a family.

I am sending a copy of your testimants to my parents because they too are interested in working to stop this disease. If more people like you and my parents fight no other family will have to know what it feels like to watch a child go through this kind of pain.

Thank you so much and god bless you and your family Marcus Weicker

i think that the doctors or reasecher should try to find a cure for this disease because my cousin Shaquand Rene Meadows died from bacterial meningitis just 1 month and 22 days after her 13th birthday so i pine for your family just the same because its hard going through life knowing that you lost some one who is very close to your heart.

My friend and co-worker Rachael Boles showed me this site and I am setting here at work about to ball my eyes out. It was sad enough to see the picture of him at such a young age (in his truck) but, when I scrolled down and saw him as a baby it just really killed me!!! I have a son who will be 3 in March and I can't even bare to think of something like this happening...

I know there is nothing you can say to heal the hearts of the people who were closest to Ryan. I unfortunately did not get the chance to get know this beautiful, wonderful person as well as I could have. But I did on occasion get to be around him. I never really spoke to him but, just being around him I could tell what a good, caring person he was. There were many people who cared very deeply for him and admired him very much so. Even people he didn't know felt very much for him. I have spoken to some of his closest friends, and he is missed more than he would ever know. I hope to be as lucky as he was and still is to have so many people love him so much. He will be in my head, heart, and prayers always. I know that time will heal the pain his closest friends and family feel. I know it will never be completely gone, but it's not supposed to be. He would have wanted for all of us to go on and not to worry. He is in a better place now and has someone taking care of him that loves him as much, if not more, as we do. Now all we can do is follow in his footsteps and be our best for him. And I know he is watching over us. I know the good Lord is taking care of him, and we will see him again one day. Than, I will get to know how wonderful he really was. I look forward to that day.

Your Ryan and our Allison are beautiful angels now - although it feels good to say it, it is hard for the heart to feel anything but pain.

We were brought together by a tragic event which created a bond that can not be broken. My son James lost his legs and a finger to this silent serial killer, and you lost a son. Together with all the other parents we will continue to work to make others aware that this can happen to them at anytime and to learn what the warning signs are and how to act. Also to get the vacine. Love you Frankie and my blessings go out to your family and all the families who have suffered from this illness.

Frankie - I was so excited when you e-mailed me today, and as I wrote back this morning I was eagerly waiting to hear from you again. I was out of town today, and all day I kept thinking about how we played as kids while our mothers were in the kitchen drinking gallons of coffee and talking. The last time I heard from you was many years ago, and I baked & decorated your wedding cake, remember? As I returned home today and was checking my e-mail & there you were! Oh, how excited I was! The excitement shortly turned to sadness and compassion as I learned of the death of your son. I am so sorry for your loss, but happy to hear of the destination of this wonderful boy. Praise God he is with God & the angels in heaven! We know that all things work together to those who love the Lord, (Romans 8:28) And see how God is using such wonderful people as you and your husband in this grief. I never knew your son, but I know the Father's son and one day when God calls me home, then, I will get to meet your son. This is a beautiful memorial to Ryan, and I'm sure he is proud of his parents in this endeavor. May God continually keep you in His will for the plan He has laid out for you! Please keep in touch, as I plan to keep in touch with you & yours. Love, Susan

My heart breaks for all of the lives Ryan has touched. I am in tears after reading the beautiful poem. My son, also named Ryan, was only 12 days old when he was diagnosed with bacterial menengitis. After almost 3 weeks in NICU and lots of love, support & prayers I got to take my only son home for a second time. I thank the Lord everyday for him and his miraculous recovery. My heart goes out to the whole family.May God bless you and know that Ryan is watching over you. Life is so very precious and we need to live everyday as if it were our last. You will all be together again.

"Looking back on the memory of the dance we shared neath the stars above. For a moment all the world was right, how could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?..and I, I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives, are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I'dve had to miss the dance."

That song brought Ryan to my mind, now that I "know" him. In choosing to have children, I have come to realize I never knew such love. To lose a child must be the most devastating thing on Earth. But it is a choice to love regardless of the risk.

Frankie, you are amazing. I imagine you would be insane by now if not for God and the promise that you will be united with your baby boy again. In eternity, it is such a short amount of time until you see him again. God bless you and Bob. Thank you for giving of yourself so unselfishly! Love, Toni }i{

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." ~ John 12:24

I am amazed to see how the tragic death of one young man has been used by the Lord to bring eternal life to so many.

Frankie, it was a joy getting to know you at the TEBA summer camp. The Lord is using you in a mighty way to reach those that others see as hopeless. Thank you for allowing God to use your pain for His glory. You are a beautiful witness for Christ Jesus.

My heart breaks reading this page. Your wonderful son is with the Lord, but I understand your sorrow here. I lost my beautiful wife 18 months ago, only 26 years old, cancer. My son was born that day. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away in His wisdom but, oh how hard for us to understand down here sometimes. Blessings to you and your family.

Dear Frankie, I know your pain, I know your agony, I know your faith. Our son Daniel Wayne Sneed went home to be with the lord December 17, 1997 at the young age of 21. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in Tomball Texas. Our lives stopped that day. We still laugh, and we cry, but time stands still around us. It is lonesome. I miss him so much that sometimes I think I cannot stand it anymore. I know my tasks here are not finished so I have to stay, but I am looking forward to the day I will see my beautiful boy again. I did get to hold him on the cold hard table at the hospital, but they would not let me in to be with him until he was gone. They worked on him from 3:36, the time of the accident until around 5:30, but his death certificate says DOA. I wish I could have looked into his blue eyes just one more time and said, "I love you kid"!!! This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. We have another son, Robert, who lives in Plano, Texas. I thank God for him every day and for each day he allowed us with Daniel. We were so blessed to have both of these boys in our life. Enough for now. I am sorry for your loss and I understand. You can e mial me at dsneed@ev1.net if you want to. Karen Madden Sneed class of 72. I don't know about you guys, but we would do it all over again, even if you knew the outcome.

Hej Ryan. Herren forst�r alle sprog, s� derfor skriver jeg til dig p� det sprog hvor jeg bedst kan udtrykke mine f�lelser. Det er idag 2 �r siden at du forlod os og to �r siden jeg kom igennem den v�rste dag i mit liv. Den dag du gik bort, mistede jeg en rigtig god ven og en person der gennem hele mit �r i USA har hjulpet mig og st�ttet mig. Du har altid v�ret s� dejlig at v�re sammen med og jeg h�ber at vi m�ske ses i himlen en dag... Jeg ved nu bare ikke hvor jeg skal hen efter dette liv!!! Ryan, pas godt p� dig selv, jeg elsker dig!!! K�rligst, Julie

What a beautiful page! How sorry we were at the passing of your son. My husband and I have had 2 children graduate from New Caney High and currently have one attending. The youngest had bacterial meningitis when she was only 5 weeks old. It was a very frightening time for us and I can not even imagine how you must feel at loosing your child even though we came close to losing ours. May God continue to comfort and bless you.

Dear Frankie, may you feel your beloved Ryan's hands guide yours while you tend to those poor orphans in Moldova in a few days. May you feel your beloved Ryan's spirit, along side yours, comforting, soothing, and teaching the poor orphans of our Lord's love.

My prayers will be with all of you, orphans and missionary caregivers as well.

God bless, Sherri

PS...Ryan's newest memorial site was most lovely, thanks for sharing it with me

Dear Frankie & Bob, What a beautiful tribute to Ryan. He is looking down on you with such love and pride. Thank you for mentioning Johnny in your site. I know he has a beautiful Angel watching over him each day, your Ryan. May God Bless you and keep your heart filled with love each day. Your friend, Aida

Dearest Frankie and Bob-what a beautiful son-with such a beautiful spirit-We know you miss Ryan-we also know that Ryan is very much alive and walking with God, on streets of gold-whole, happy and complete-yes you will meet Ryan again, and by the "signs of the times"-probably much sooner than you think! In the meantime-may the two of you "rise up"- and "Soar like Eagles"-spreading the love of God to all those who do not know the "Love of God"-as Ryan knows! May God bless you both and forever hold you in the "Shelter Of His Arms". WE LOVE YOU-God Loves You! Jerry & Joan Kassel - Harlingen Texas

Frankie, We have read Ryan's story many times, and it still makes us cry. Thank You for remembering Jason and all the other children that have had Meningitis come into their lives on this Memorial to Ryan. We will be putting Jason's Memorial here also. Love Always and God Bless You and Bob.

Wonderful site. I'm crying, but I love it. When the first rolls around, I'll ask to add my sister.
