Mary Ellen Barrett's son, Ryan left for a father/son camping trip on THurs.. morning. At this time he has not been seen since 5:00 Thursday night. Mary Ellen is imploring all of us for prayers. She has been driven up to the campsite with a friend and so far there is no news.
Please, pray for protection, safety, and a speedy return of Ryan to all of us who love him.
Updates are sporadic, but I will post when there is news.
Thank you for all your love and prayers for Mary Ellen and Dave and Ryan.

******************Moderator's Note*********************

Alice at Cottage Blessings posted a portion of a touching letter that Mary Ellen wrote.

As well, Chris has posted here on ways to make an offering in the name of Ryan Barrett if someone should feel called to do that.

There is also an article on Newsday - Lindenhurst family mourns autistic teen
