Debbie,
My sincere condolences to you, Jordan, Tyler, Kristen, Kinsley, Addison, and Saylor. I have many pictures of all and I know how proud Ryland was of his family. My heart is heavy, yet I know he is home and in a better place. It was an honor and a privilege to work and argue with him "such a great man." Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heartfelt condolences to Ryland's wife and family. He was my manager at Bank of America. He was a wonderful "boss" and friend.
