Ryan's Place Park--But he will never play there.
When tragedy strikes, how many of us look for the silver lining and the dreams that can come true when we find it?
After my two-year-old grand-nephew, Ryan, drowned in Lake Powell on a family vacation 9 Aug 2006, the family was devastated. But the thought and inspiration came to leave Ryan's legacy to the community by providing a place for the children to play. After all, that's what Ryan enjoyed and loved to do!
