Every time I heard or wrote the date yesterday I said this is an important day when I got home and saw your picture I realized just how important. I can't beleivw it's been so long. I need you to keep a close eye on Jess, she is about to start a new medicine for her MS and it's a pretty serious stuff. Wish you were here to make her laugh through all of this. And she sure could use one of those wonderful hugs of yours. Miss you so very much Ryan! You touched and actually continue to touch so many lives! We love you!!

May 13, 2015
Ryan,I did not realize that your guest book was open for good or I would have been writing you before. I think about you a lot and I hate that our time was cut short because we had some good times and I really do miss you. I didn't realize it but my dad passed away exactly 30 days after you. I feel certain you two have met and probably laughed about me a time or two. I was talking with Someone the other day about when I ran the red light that one night and the sheriff stopped us and how we laughed afterwards and still had a great night. I miss you man you were one of the only true friends still around then. I hope to see you again one day brother.

I could always count on you to be there no matter what. I never thought a day would come you wouldn't be by my side. It's been so long since I have heard your voice but I see your face everyday. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ever ask for and thank you for continuing to watch over me even when I can't see you in person. I love you and miss you!! See you one day and we can catch up on everything when I am finally able to let you go from my hug.. lol.

"If Heaven wasn't so far away.. I'd
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
It'd do me good just to see YOU smile
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
I'd find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far away."
--Miss you every single day Ryan!

RYAN CASSO...
This morning when I awakened
And saw the sun above,
I said,"Good Morning Lord,
Bless Everyone I love",
And right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from dispear.
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store;
I wished it all for Ryan, because
No one deserves it more.
I read this and thought of you...I love you Ryan!

Well it has been 4 years since i wrote in Ryan's Guestbook. I am still reading all his entries and still thinking about the family and loved ones that miss you so much. Alot of sad things similar to this one has happened in the last 4 years. We had one locally in Hammond last week, college students killed by a drunk driver. I feel for his family as well.Regena Anzalone - Independence, LA

oo Ryan i just had to let you know how much you are missed. There is really not a day that goes by that your name doesnt come to my mind. Me and Amanda talk about you all the time...and you know Jess and Lauren do too.
You always told me that my girls were beautiful and you were right...you told me Amanda was gonna be a knockout. I told her that the other day because she was feeling not so pretty(b/c of a boy)
I wish you were here to help make them feel better...like you always did for all of us when you stayed with us.
Keep shining down on us Ryan!!
you are the brightest star up there
We love you so much

Dearest Ryan,
You are very much missed by many people. I still miss your bright, beautiful smile; AND THOSE HUGS! I lost my dad a few months ago. He always said your MoNell was the most BEAUTIFUL woman he had ever seen. I went to visit her and told her that. I think she blushed, Ryan. She has your pictures up in her room. And also Lorenzo's. You were blessed with a wonderful family, even if it was for such a short time.
May God bless you in your final rest and I hope one day we will all be together again.
Love always,

I miss you being around! You always had a smile and that's what I need sometimes, just to see that! I miss that! We love you Ryan. I'll see you again! Shine down hunny.

Merry Christmas Ryan. Every year around this time I miss you more than ever. Lately I've either been seeing people that look like you, or maybe meet up with someone that is wearing your cologne and I think of you. I do miss you terribly. I remember it was right after Christmas when you moved in with us. Although that time got cut short, we had a blast while you were there. I have forgotten so many other things from almost 5 years ago, but you coming in the door after work is still fresh in my memory. We loved having you around. You definatly changed our lives for the better. We miss you and love you. Shine down Ryan! Keep smiling down and I'll smile right back up to you! ('cause I got my teeth all straight and pretty like you always wanted for the 3 of us!)

Then you wouldn't have had April withdraws so much. I think about you everyday and miss you more and more. There will always be a part of my heart that will never be complete because it only belongs to you. I love you Ryan Casso and I know you know I do. You are still my best friend and no one could ever take that place. See you in my dreams... Love always your april
