A message from Margaret:

“On behalf of myself and my children, I wanted to thank you all for your generous donations in honor of my husband, Ryan Ford. My family and I are so grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness of others during this otherwise difficult time. Reading through your messages and comments, it’s clear the impact Ryan had on everyone around him and it has brought me a small comfort knowing how much he meant to all of you. We are going to miss him so very much, but we thank you for your support. Your contributions and kind messages are a gift we will always treasure.”

Hi, my name is Monica Volkman and together with my family, I ask for your help raising money to honor the life and memory of my brother-in-law Ryan Ford. On Saturday, July 22, Ryan unexpectedly and tragically passed away. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, son, and friend. He leaves behind my sister Margaret and 6 beautiful children: Dominic, Elizabeth, Cecilia, Cora, Eileen, and Genevieve. Ryan had the most generous and giving heart. The proceeds from this GoFund me will be used to lay him to rest and support his family as they grieve this tremendous loss. Thank you for taking the time to read this far and please pray for my sister, their children, his parents and siblings, and all his loved ones.

UPDATE: Our family is floored and filled with gratitude for everyone's generous outpour of love and support. It has been such a blessing seeing our community of family, friends, and even strangers, contribute and provide aid to our sister, nephew, and nieces during this time. Ryan would have wanted nothing more than to see his family be taken care of so they can take the time to grieve and be there for one another. Thank you!!!!
