Nobody at the Fish
in Portland, OR ever met Ryan. Even so, his story touched all of us, and by your
emails and calls we know it touched you as well.
The first we heard of Ryan was
when his Mother called the station asking for a song she had heard - You
Raise Me Up, by Selah. She wanted it for her son's funeral. He
had died on Easter Sunday. Due to technical problems (or was it divine
intervention?) in the new Fish studios, the conversation went out over the
air and our listeners became involved.
It turned out that Ryan had
cerebral palsy, had out-lived all expectations and predictions and been a
joy to hundreds of people. He was a wonderful child who his Mother told
me did two things - Pray and Sing - all the time.
You wanted to know more about
Ryan, and specifically, you wanted to put a face with the name. So
here are some pictures from Ryan's Mom, Mari. |
