Bridie, I don’t know if you remember me, my son Curtis went to school with Ryan, they were actually pretty good friends & sometimes got mistaken for looking similar to one another
I can’t even quite find the words that I want to write to you. My heart is breaking for you & your children. Please find strength in knowing that he loved you all so very much. Keep the beautiful memories of time spent together close to your heart. Prayers and thoughts & warm hugs to you & yours. Sincerest heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Know that there are so many people that are thinking of you & are here for you ❤️

Thank you to John Newell for all you did for me. I was a better person today for knowing you and working for you. I’m so glad we stayed in touch even after I worked for you. I’m still am in a deep state of shock and truly sad to see you have left us all but I believe in eternal life which is what I believe all of us should be more concerned about rather that earthly things. I’m sorry for the pain you must have been in during the final days of your life. I would have done anything I could to have helped you. I will live the rest of my life hoping to help anyone I know might be in trouble. My deepest condolences to the Newell family and anyone involved. May God have mercy on his soul. Romans 6:23
