The family of Ryan J. Donley would like to extend our deepest appreciation for your countless prayers and expressions of sympathy given to our family during our loss of Ryan. We have found much comfort in the countless cards, flowers, calls, visits, donations and gifts of the heart. Many of you we know personally, many we do not. It is wonderful to see so many caring people willing to help in any way that they can when you need it. When your whole life has been devastated, it is reassuring to see such human kindness in this day and age. It certainly gives you hope that tomorrow will be brighter. I don’t know how we would have made it through such a difficult time without all of you. You are our blessings from God.

Love,

Daphne Donley

Chris and Margie Donley
