Dear Danielle, Ryan and Ryk,
I always
saw your Father much like an eagle, watching over his children with keen eyes ..... the loving parent filled with joy and
pride time and time again, as he saw each one of you soar in a different direction. God has lifted him on eagles' wings
beyond all the earthly cares, but he along with your Mother will never be far from your vision. I have lost a special friend
of thirty-six years, but the beauty of knowing him will be a part of me forever. Your family will be remembered in many of
my Mass intentions and daily reflections ...... Always.

Ryk, Ryan and Danielle,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your
mother Caryl last year and now the loss of your father Ron. We were good friends when we first moved to Shippensburg. He was
a student operator when I started my computer operations career at Ship. We spent some good times together. I'm sorry
we lost contact over the years, but I will still have many memories of moving that heavy butcher's block around the country
side and the final move to your home near Newville. God Bless you.

Ryan and Family,
Ryan I was saddened to find out that you lost both of your parents within
a year. I know it has been a couple of years, since the passing of your parents, and I don't even know if you will ever
see this condolence, but I still wanted to pay my respects to you and your family. I was thinking of you the other day,
so I decided to do an internet search, and that was when I found out about the death of your parents. I just wanted to let
you know, that my heart goes out to you and your family. I did not know your parents, but from what I read about them they
sounded like great people. Hope your doing well, and again I'm sorry for your loss.
Jonda
