Dear Mary Ellen, I have always thought that you were amazing - this totally confirms it for me. You are such wonderful example. We have been praying for you daily. I have told my children the story of 'The Little Priest' - I will be sure to suggest to them to call on his intercession. Much Love, Lisa

Oh, Mary Ellen...
What is there to say except how privileged I feel to have been able to stand at the Foot of this Cross with you! It still hurts me deeply to think about it. You and your family remain in our daily prayers!
I will go often to the great servant of God, little Ryan Barrett!

Mary Ellen,
Your message made me cry. Through the years I have often thought of Ryan and his piety during my various struggles with my special blessing Aidan. Thank you for the reminder that I can pray for his intercession now.

Mary Ellen, you are a grace-filled woman made of something very special...the connection between Ryan and the priesthood has been of my mind many times I have to say and I would gladly ask that dear fellow for his intercession when praying for vocations in my family.
God love you Mary Ellen, a very big hug from down under!

Mary Ellen, words escape me. I've been praying for all of you, and I've been praying for Ryan. Thank you for the gentle reminder to ask for his intercession.

Mary Ellen- as I was reading your message, I just had the image of Ryan grinning and being so happy to be a "go to" guy for us in heaven. Somehow I just had the picture of him with his arms folded across his chest, smiling and saying, "NOW I can get to work".
Great loss and great joy...
