Dearest son,
I have not written in a while. The month on May is a hard one. Your birthday and Mother's Day are not easy.
All three of your cousins are with us this week. We are having so much fun with them. There is an empty spot where you should be. They miss you so much. I get very sad knowing that you should be here with us. Everyone is growing up fast. Burke and Collin are as tall as you were. Of course, they eat as much as you did! Claire has your spunk.
There are days when I wish we could go back to when you were here. On my birthday my only wish was to have you back with us. I know that can't happen but I allow myself a few seconds of how it would be if I turned the corner and saw your truck in the driveway. I am so very lucky to have so many wonderful memories. I was blessed to have you as my son.
I love and miss you so very very much.
all my love always, mom

Hey Ryan! It has been a very long time since I have left a reflection on this site. I miss you so much even though three years have gone by. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I look through our pictures occasionally and just laugh to myself. Jayden Ryanna is now 9 months old. She is getting so big and is getting ready to walk. She is starting to talk and makes so many funny faces. Watch over us. I love you.

Officer Renner,
When I read your reflection it makes me think of all the times Ryan and I rode down that same stretch of road together.Ryan was the same age as your son. I remember your first reflection, your son is growing up fast. Thank you for honoring Ryan. I miss him more than words can express. Stay safe.

Ryan,
My son is now 6 years old and is still in the habit of saying, "Thank you Mr. Ryan" every time we pass your roadside marker. You are thought of often and you will be appreciated and respected for generations to come!

We need your special help in watching over Grandpa. As you know there is a battle in front of us. Please stay near Grandma also. I know you are right here to guide us.

Ryan,
My heart is very heavy today. I am missing you so very much. I know this......the missing will never stop until we are together again.
There are times that I wish that I would have had a chance to say "goodbye". But then I think how could I ever say a final "goodbye". I was not supposed to outlive you. It's all in the wrong order. I try to stay upbeat, help where ever I can but the sadness is always ready and waiting. I know this is the most difficult journey that I will ever have to walk.
When I read of another officer down or a mother losing her child my heart breaks. As all of us who are further on down the road with our grief know what awaits each and everyone of those families.
I love you my precious Ryan. I think a kiss on my cheek tonite in my dreams would be so wonderful.
lots of love, mom

Go with the Lord for those you have left behind shall keep the watch, ever vigil in our quest, we will never forget you.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Dearest son,
There are no words to express how much i miss you. It hurts my heart that you were taken. I know it is three years but it feels like yesterday. All of our lives that evening changed in a split second. You will always be my baby boy.
As we always waited for you to come home you are now waiting for us.
Missing and loving you with all my heart. Mom

Ryan..
oh boy. I hate that we are marking another year that you've been gone. As the 15th draws closer, I find myself thinking about this time 3 years ago. Had any of us known you'd be taken from us, we would've held you close and never let go. You are irreplaceable, my friend. There's nobody in my world who's come close to being the kind of friend you were to me. Shannon and I still talk about you and share our precious memories of you. Know that I have not forgotten you even though I moved away. I still miss you, Ryan.
Love always,
