RYAN LAWRENCE TABLER 11/15/1976 – 8/9/2010

Son of my dear friend & sister of my heart, Barbara Stamm.  Words can’t express what you must be feeling or how I wish I could take the pain away, but I hope in these you find some comfort.

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It’s not like the cord
That connects us ’til birth
This cord can’t been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it’s work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.

It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised…I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!

    For Ryan, who I did not know to well mainly due to logistics. I am truly sorry for what happened to him and for his family. I just saw him four months ago and was going to see my dad and uncle up there in about a week, and was also going to stop by and see how Danny (Ryan) was doing. This news just hit me a couple of days ago and I am still in disbelief. I pray for his soul and hope a very thorough investigation is done. I am sad about all of this. May Jesus Christ care for him in the eternal life he has entered. Your blood cousin, John Tannehill

    Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
    May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

    Nothing can take away the pain of Ryan's loss but holding on to & sharing the joy of his life and loves will keep his spirit alive forever. Sometimes we realize too late how precious someone really is in our lives, it's at those times that we need to hold our children, spouses, friends and loved ones close and tell them how much we appreciate them. “God works in mysterious ways…” he had a plan for Ryan and maybe we are part of it, using the impact of his life & death as a gift for us all.
