About Me
- Name: Ryan
- Location: Athens, Ga, United States
Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

Merry Christmas
http://www2.caringbridge.org/ga/hayley/ and read about their incredible strength and faith. Hayley is now an angel in heaven and, no doubt, you will find unbelievable sadness when you read about her journey, so be prepared-but, you will also find a sincerity and sweetness that will draw you in to learn more about her. She has a gift to give and, maybe you will be moved to send a message to her family that will give them comfort. Les and I did not send out Christmas cards this year. Some of you may remember our Aflac cards we sent out last year (freaky, isn't it?). We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas filled with much love and joy- and,as always, thank you for your love and support and your prayers for Ryan and our family.
