Ryland Sanders

Organized by Stacy Ogilvie
From Ryland's Mother
I want to thank all of Ryland’s internet family for the memories you have shared with us and for the love you have shown toward my son, my family and I. I would also like to express how deeply grateful I am for all of your donations; the funds you all have raised will be very helpful. I am so appreciative for all that you have done.
I want you all to know how important you were to Ryland. You were there for him in his final days; you kept him laughing, kept him living. You are all part of Ryland’s family. You are his chosen family. Thank you for all of your comments to Ryland and for helping him to find peace in leaving this place and moving on to the next. Ryland was truly blessed to have had such great friends. I have recently learned some things about my son that I had not known; the greatest of those discoveries being the great and many loving friends he had, who cared for him so deeply. I know in my heart that when Ryland passed, he left this life knowing how much he was loved. For that and for everything else you have done, I can only offer my undying love and my many blessings. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my son; in his life and in his death. I am eternally grateful.
With Love,
Alinda, Ryland’s mom
