Visitation will be at the church from 10:30 a.m. until the time of the service. Ryan was my brother and best friend. Though he lived through many struggles and hardships, he always worried about me first. Never did we leave a conversation without an “I love you” or a hug. He was the best little brother a girl could ask for. “Ryan, how can I ever have a day without hearing your voice, seeing your warm smile or sweet face? Now you are finally free and out of pain. I will love you forever.” Kimmy Visitation will be at the church from 10:30 a.m. until the time of the service. Funeral services will be held at ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2450 Atwood Ave., Madison, at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 25, 2011, with Father Francis Schmidt presiding.
