    Thank you, everybody for your amazing financial support and friendship over the last four months. The sudden loss of Ryan is still very real, and we have had some challenging times trying to work through the grief and trauma. As the days go on, we are becoming stronger. We have so many amazing memories of our life with Ryan. He was an amazing Dad and husband. The gap left is massive, but we are holding on to our faith through this stormy season. We are blessed with practical help on a daily basis through family and friends.

    We are coming up to a month of firsts- Father’s Day, Ryan’s birthday my birthday and Abby’s first birthday- all in September. My daughter Briella is booked to have her heart surgery on 27th of October - at Starship children’s hospital in Auckland. She requires two surgeries, first is an ablation and second at a later date to fix a large hole. Facing this without Ryan is going to be hard but again we do have family surrounding us to get through this.

    We always love connecting with those who knew Ryan so please be in touch if you ever want to visit or share memories!!

    Thank you everyone for your support and love at this difficult time. We have felt carried and cared for and know that Ryan would be so grateful for the way we have been looked after.

    The financial pressure will be eased because of your generosity and we are forever grateful for the gifts that have been given to us.

    The kids and I are starting to come out of the shock of Ryan’s passing and are slowly getting a new normal. Abby is now just over 8 months old - she is in the teething stage! She is a delight to us all and has a wonderful way of helping us remain joyful and hopeful in this season!

    We hope to see some different parts of NZ over the next few months so I’m hoping we can connect with friends and family while we are out and about!

    Please stay in touch

    Katie and kids
