Funeral details

Family and dear friends, I wanted to share the details for Ryan's funeral service. First, let me apologize you are receiving this information multiple times or if I did not get the information out last week. It has been a difficult couple of weeks and I can not remember who I have communicated with or who my sister, Tracy, has reached out to on my behalf this past week. Ryan's service will be at 1:00pm on Friday, July 15th at Santa Maria Cemetery. It will be a short graveside service, with full military honor guard. A chaplain from Vandenberg AFB will be there, along with a few coworkers from Lackland AFB. Ryan will be laid to rest here in Santa Maria, so he will be near the kids and I daily. If you need directions or help with anything at all, please don't hesitate to let me know. If I can not get back to you, my sister, Tracy will. If I have forgotten to share this with anyone, please forgive me, and feel free to share with others. I also wanted to say thank you SO MUCH to each of you for your prayers and support. For reaching out to us, for those who attended the squadron memorial service last week at Lackland AFB, Texas, for those who have worked to spoil my children for their birthdays this week, for everything, but most of all for the prayers of comfort and strength. I have not been able to express that to most of you individually, but I have read all your messages and appreciate all the support more than words can say. Thank you. It has been the most difficult week for us, but the kids and I are doing okay. We are finding comfort in knowing that Ryan is at peace and free from his hurts. We miss him so much that it feels difficult to breathe. But we know he is watching out from us and taking care of us from above, just as much, and just as lovingly, as he did when he was here with us. He loved his family and friends so very much, please know that. I look forward to hugging any and all of you all in person next week - or at any time in the future that you want to visit us. Hugs and prayers are always, always welcome!
