Dearest Ryan ,

Thinking of you on your 58th birthday. It’s been a beautiful day . Time has certainly flown by . It seems like just yesterday I was busy trying to decide what kind of cake to bake for you . You could make the best cakes ever and your oatmeal cookies were divine . I’d always sit on the kitchen counter talking your head off while you baked them . I wouldn’t even let them cool before I’d dive in for one . You knew how to do absolutely everything. I miss working out in the yard and the woods with you . We were a team and we’d work so hard especially this time of year making everything so pretty . Pogo, Roxy and Bella would be right with us and we wouldn’t go in until way after dark . Bella and I think of you every day and will always love you and miss you.

Love always ,
Cindy and Bella

My Dearest Ryan ,

Today is the sixth year anniversary of your death . Time has certainly flown by but in a sense , it has stood still . There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you . I still talk to you every day about everything going on , even something silly that might pop into my mind. We used to have the best time just goofing off .

We’re having very strong storms this morning. It’s kind of fitting because you loved storms . Maybe somehow you’re reminding me to not forget you . I’m always asking for signs that you’re still watching over me and Bella . Maybe this is one . I remember you each and every day. I remember our life and I’m forever grateful and blessed that Bella and I are taken care of .
I pray you’re at peace and I pray that you forever watch over Bella and I to keep us safe . You will forever be loved .

Always,
Cindy Alane

Dearest Ryan,

Thinking of you this morning. This is a very hard time of year for me and Bella . It’s just filled with so many memories of everything and everyone we’ve lost . Losing you and our precious Roxy were devastating. The pain never goes away . I pray you know you’re not forgotten and we will always keep you close to our heart .

Love Always,

My Dearest Ryan,

I miss you . I’m watching the video of your service and seeing all the memories we made with each other and our precious pups. I can’t begin to tell you all that is in my heart . You were my heart and I will forever love you sweet angel.

It seems like just yesterday that we were building our company and looking for our dream property in Iowa . We accomplished so much together . It was always you, me and our pups . I relive everything we ever did in my mind. I can never let those memories fade . I was so very proud of you . You worked so hard and made our dreams come true . I close my eyes and can still hear you telling me I’m your angel and that everything will be okay . I can still feel you rubbing my hand to calm me .

I still feel lost at times without you . I try very hard to be strong . I have to be strong and brave . There is no other choice . I know in my heart that you’re watching over me and Bella. Believing that you’re with us gives me much comfort.

All my love,
Cindy Alane

Ryan,

I wish you could see the farm , which maybe you can . I believe it’s the prettiest it’s ever been . You know I always wanted everything to be cut and look like a park for our Bella to run and safely play. It’s taken years since you’ve been gone but it finally looks like it’s loved . Bella loves it so much . Just tonight she was chasing deer across my favorite ridge . I almost couldn’t keep up with her . This is what we both had dreamed of and worked so hard for . It always brings so much joy to my heart to see her explore and run and play in the fields . We’ve been spending more and more time out for her to enjoy . She’s up and ready to watch birds and squirrels around daylight . It’s been so hot, we usually go back out close to sunset. She gets so excited to chase the rabbits and deer. Time flies by and we don’t make it out of the woods until way after dark .

Knowing how hard we worked to have this special place is making it very hard to leave it . Bella and I moved here full time a couple years ago praying it would be our forever home . Things have happened that’s made our peace here anything but that .

You always warned me to keep my eyes open and that most people aren’t who they pretend to be . Unfortunately, that is the bitter truth that I’ve had to learn the hard way . It’s amazing how just one person can turn your life upside down. I’m a very trusting person and that is one of my biggest downfalls. You tried to watch out for me when you were here and I’ve not done a good job keeping watch on myself . I’ve decided to move Bella and I home to be with my family . We need to be with the ones who truly love us and want the best for us. It is breaking my heart to leave our farm but I can’t live in Iowa anymore. I hope you know how hard I’ve tried here and that our work was not completely wasted . I’m leaving it in pristine shape and I pray that whomever may get it finds the peace and happiness that I couldn’t.

As always, I hope that you keep watch on Bella and me and that we can find peace and joy.

Love,
Cindy Alane

Ryan,

Today is a very hard day. My heart is breaking for our sweet Bella. You know she’s always had health issues . She’s sick again . Each time it gets harder on our angel . I’m trying with everything in me to help her get well . You were always very good with our little ones when they were sick and hurting . You could calm them and me . I’m terrified of losing her . She’s a tough little girl and such a fighter . She is my heart , as she was yours . I’m praying that God pulls our angel through this and she is with me for the rest of my life . I can’t stand being away from her for even a second. I want her healthy and happy running all over the place chasing rabbits and all the things she loves to do . If you are somehow watching over Bella, I pray she feels comfort and peace and the strength to keep fighting . I also pray you are at peace . I think of you every day .

Love,
Cindy

My Dearest Ryan ,

It’s so hard to believe another year has passed since you’ve been gone . Today, is the fifth anniversary of your death . I hope you somehow know that I think of you each and every day . You’re loved today just as much as ever . I spend hours talking to you about everything under the sun just like I always have. I hurt as much today as I did when you died in my arms . The fact that you couldn’t speak haunts me to this day . There was so much to be said . I pray you knew that you were my heart and how very much I loved you . The only consolation I have is when you briefly woke up and as I was telling you how much I love you and had been waiting for you to open your beautiful blue eyes, you were able to rub my hand like you so often would and winked at me. There are days when I barely get through the day . I still go days without sleep . You were my best friend . We had so many dreams . You were always very strong for me and I knew I could lean on you . Bella and I love you Ryan Scott. I will always love you and miss you . Today, I will do some of your favorite things like go up the hill and watch the sun rise and walk Bella all through the woods. I’ll go back up and watch the sunset and know that you’re with me. I love you sweet darlin.
Forever,
Cindy Alane

Dearest Ryan,

Five years ago today was the last day we were together at our home before you entered the hospital. We never dreamed you would never make it back home . I still remember me, you and Bella laying on the couch watching tv and the shows we were watching. I remember the clothes you were wearing . We had just lost our precious Roxy and Bella was sick . We were so heartbroken. We were all three grieving and doing our best to comfort each other and trying to get Bella and you well. I can’t stop remembering. The nightmares haven’t stopped. They only get worse . I think of you each and every day . I pray you knew how very much Bella and I loved you .

Love,
Cindy

Dearest Ryan,

Today is the third anniversary of your death . I prefer to think of it as your third birthday in Heaven . I find myself rethinking every day you were in the hospital. It’s like reliving a nightmare that you never wake from . To see you suffering and in unimaginable pain is something I’ll never forget . I tried to comfort you , praying you could hear me . I stayed by your side . I had never felt so alone and terrified in my life . All kinds of things ran through my mind . I’ll never know why things happen the way they do . I do know God was there every second. When I thought I could not go on any longer , God would place someone in my path that would drop to their knees without hesitation and pray with me . I am truly blessed for the time I had with you . It wasn’t always easy but life isn’t always a bed of roses . There are many thorns . Things happen for a reason and all one can do is place all their faith in God . I pray you knew that I loved you and I was always devoted to you . You will always be in my heart .

My Dearest Ryan ,

Today, angel, would be your 54th birthday . It’s still unbelievable that you’re no longer here with me and Bella. I’ve been thinking about past birthdays and making your birthday cakes . You would always ask me if they were homemade or “out of the box “ . I’d laugh and tell you , they’re all homemade . I had to put eggs in and everything. It’s no secret I’m a terrible cook .
I really miss you Ryan , especially on special days like today . We’d probably be fishing today if you were here . We always did compete to see who could catch the most fish . If I caught more than you, you’d blame me because you had to keep stopping and bait my hook for me . It was always fun even if we didn’t catch any at all . I miss you and I’ll love you forever .

All my Love,
Cindy

My Dearest Ryan,
It’s been a little over a year and a half since you left this earth to go to Heaven. I miss you so much. Nights like tonight, memories of you , my angel, flood my soul. I’m sitting outside listening to the frogs and crickets and thinking about all the wonderful times we shared. We loved sitting on top of the ridge and looking at the stars with the wind blowing so hard . You loved watching a good lightning storm . We had so much fun together . I’d sit beside you on the tractor while you were bush hogging and we were both so happy. Little things that most people take for granted made us so incredibly happy. I’d give anything to have you back with me and Bella. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you . My heart will never let go of you. We had a good life , you were just taken much too soon. I miss you smiling at me and holding my hand. I love you with all my heart and soul and will for all eternity. Please know how much I love you and watch over me . I’m always looking for some kind of sign that you’re with me. All my love always, Cindy

Today my love, would have been your 53rd birthday. I love you and miss you like crazy . It still doesn’t seem real to me that you’re gone . I find myself talking to you all the time and asking you what to do . You were my dream come true .
Every birthday I would tell you , you’re six months older than me and you would laugh and say , but you look older than me . I can still see your beautiful brown hair and blue eyes looking back at me . Bella and I love you with all our heart. I miss you and love you sweet darling angel. Forever Yours, Cindy

It has been a week since the untimely passing of Ryan. There is now a huge void in my life that will never be filled again. But, every day I look back on the condolences that have been written by his closest friends and co-workers and it makes my heart happy for a moment. You have all used many words to describe Ryan...special, charismatic, professional, brutally honest, incredible and friend. And all of these words describe him to a "T". But there is one word missing. Brother. And he was mine. My baby brother. One like no other. Irreplaceable. I miss him beyond words. I keep waiting on that off the wall goofy text at 11:00 at night. The wildlife pictures he sent. The snow scenes, the sound of the blowing wind coming across his fields. Things that made him happy. I would love to meet each and every one of you that called him friend. That may never be possible but at least I have the stories that he told me about you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a huge part of his life. He loved you all!

Ryan and I worked together at Delta, and I was always impressed with his knowledge of his job as an avionics mechanic. We shared a love for the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. It was amazing what he accomplished after his retirement from Delta. My wife and I will miss him.

Cindy, Brothers and Sister,
Ryan was a good friend and a strong man that I had great confidence in. I will remember him as a rare man that spoke straight and was of impeccable honesty.
He and his men at AMS consistently provided the absolute best quality in airframe work for us, and thereby to United Airlines.
Personally, I will miss a great friend that I depended on for a long time. I am deeply shocked and saddened by his untimely departure from this life.
Cindy, I cannot begin to fathom your pain and sadness. May God grant you all comfort and His understanding at this time and in the future. God's plan goes beyond any of our knowledge, but He has a plan for us all.
May God bless all of you. I will continue my prayers, also. Tom Chappell

A Marine at heart we both shared a lot of stories about our time in the service. I am going to miss him.
