I apologize, but I gave you all the wrong time for the funeral on Friday. It is at 10:00, instead of 10:30. I am sending you a copy of the obituary as well, since it will only be in the Daytona paper. It's a nice tribute. Again, thank you all so much for your support.

The following email was forwarded to me by Amelia Z...thanks. I am asking the Prayer Group and the "ASI graduates" group to say a prayer for Ryan and his family.
By the way that ASI Graduates group name was inspired by Novi.

I just wanted to update you all. Ryan's dad passed at 8:30 this morning. He went peacefully, just as he wanted. Many have asked, so here are the arrangements. There will be an announcement in the News Journal as well. The viewing will be on Thursday from 5-7 at Volusia Memorial in Port Orange. As of right now, the funeral will be there as well, on Friday morning at 10:30.

Rhonda, Ryan and Brock are doing as well as can be expected. As you know, Hub hasn't been himself for the last 2 years, and the last year has been rather difficult for everyone. Rhonda in particular. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them. Our family is truly blessed to have you in our lives. I know that they are comforted by your love, support and willingness to step forward in any way. Both Ryan and Rhonda really want to have the kids with us for everything, so thanks for the many offers to care for the babies. Madison has always managed to put a big grin on her Papa's face when no one else could. They had a special bond. We know he would want her there. A couple people asked for Ryan's mom's address, so here is that as well.
Please forgive me for the impersonal group email.
