I'm so sorry to hear about this tragic news. I never met Ryan but your family was a big part of my life growing up in Vermilion. How ironic that I live in Cary now. Ryan went to elementary and middle school with many of my son's friends. He is also 18. I have related the information to them. Please know that you are in our thoughts. I will light a candle at mass for Ryan. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Lovingly, Donna Trasti Keville

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye 1932

I am sorry to learn about the death of Ryan Hofecker. This must have been a difficult time for all. Therefore, I am forwarding scripture to bring solace. Please, read the following scriptures: James 4:14, John 6:35-40, 44 and John 11:25, 26.
