    Hey Ryan,
    As a testament to the wide net of people you have touched, I heard about your accident before I got an e-mail from Ellenor and Jim. Jude from the Kenner Home Depot told us about is and told us to keep you in my prayers...I am and will. Recovery soon man, you have a lot of people who care about you!

    Lots of Love

    Ryan,

    You are one of the best people I know. When I think about my “adult” life in New Orleans, you are such an important part of it:

    *From August until (hopefully) February, you are my favorite person to be with on Sundays. I don’t know anyone else who is as passionate about BOTH the Patriots and the Saints.

    *Our dogs, Sadie and Hobbs. I still remember the day Ben told me that Sadie and Hobbs were in love. I was so proud of Hobbs for getting the prettiest girl in the place. He is looking forward to moving back to NOLA to rekindle their romance!

    *Sharing the joys and frustrations of working in the nonprofit world. Even though we have both moved on, you were always an inspiration to me to do better.

    *Deciding to go to graduate school and studying for the GMAT. Even though you kicked my butt, you were so supportive and encouraging. I probably would have gloated. You never cease to amaze me.

    I am so sorry I can’t be there to cheer you on in your recovery. Please know that I am sending all of my love and positive energy your way.

    Love,
    Jenny

    Ryan,

    Daan and I are wishing you the best from Amsterdam. I'm so glad that I just saw you. As soon as you are better, I am taking you up on that offer to stay with you in New Orleans. That city won't be the same with out you...

    It really amazes me to see this site and how many people there are rooting for you. Just another testament to what a loving and generous person you are.

    Love you,

    Hi Ryan,

    I don't know how I didn't find out about any of this until now..from a post on someone's facebook wall.. but somehow I didn't. I am sending you so much love & wishing you joy, friendship, hugs and laughter and ease. It's not surprising to me at all how many people have come out to surround you with love--you are such an amazing person and I've always enjoyed the time we spent together. I look forward to next time we are in the same state, and so so glad to hear you are doing better. Love to you & your family!

    Zoë :)

    Hi Ryan, you don't know me, my name is Vince Porcelli and I live in Toronto Canada. I stumbled across this blog by googling my son's name (Ryan Porcelli) and I was hooked on the story. I just wanted to send my best wishes for a full recovery. It looks like you have a very tight knit group behind you of family and friends. Cherish them, family is the most important !! I hope all goes well for you...God Bless
