Ryan’s Story

Site created on January 8, 2022

Ryan, a beloved member of the Community of St Martin. was recently diagnosed with metastatic cancer and has entered hospice after consulting with his oncologist. . It had spread all over his liver, with a few spots in bones and lungs. Doctors  struggled to determine the source. This site will be updated by Ryan's wife, Karen, daughters, Emily & Becka, and family friend, Christine.  We will try our best to keep everyone updated on Ryan's status as we know there are many friends who would like to know how he is doing. Please use this site to reach out with prayers, well-wishes and words of encouragement for Ryan and his family.

Journal entry by Karen Karis

Thank you dear friends!  Both from myself and from the kids, we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support for each one of us during this new unchosen path  we're traveling on. The prayers, cards, letters and calls have been so kind and like getting hugs across the distance. Wish we could hug you all in person.
Karen ,Andrew ,Rebekah, Emily and Rachel.
