Jackie, Ryan was that cute little rascal that could steal your heart and do things you would let him get away with because you were laughing at him. He thought he was slick. Kept me on my toes. He was polite, respectful, and great to have around. I enjoyed the short time God let me get to know him and I miss him as we do all of you, hugs and kisses.
