Things On The Horizon

Hi everyone, it's Tash. Thanks so much for all of the support you have provided us over the past few weeks, it does really help us along a little bit better. Although it may seem like things have been quiet, we have been working on a few things that I wanted to pass along.

Firstly, there is a group working on a website to sell the book (stopdropandsmile.com) and we have some books that are being printed right now. We hope to have everything up and running within the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for how you can get one.

Also, a couple of friends are putting together a fundraiser called "Smiles for Ryan" with proceeds going to Rosedale Hospice - the amazing place that took such good care of us all for the past couple of months. It will be the May long weekend and they will be offering up their photography services for family photo sessions for a donation. We should more details within the next week on that too.

Until then, keep smiling for Ryan!

Ryan is at peace

Ryan's courageous battle with cancer ended today April 4th at 4:00 am. In his last day he was surrounded by his family and swarmed with love. His fight ended peacefully without pain. As you all know he was an amazing husband, father, son, brother, friend and most of all an amazing gift for all of us.
