It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Ryann Lavelle, who tended this page with compassion and devotion, serving as an inspiration to so many, passed away peacefully at 11:21 PDT on April 2, 2025.
Ryann entrusted me as an Admin a while ago and her daughter, Gina, asked that I thank each of you for the love and support you’ve shared with her here over the years.
Ryann was a wise, kind, beautiful, brave, intelligent, and gentle woman whose presence will be greatly missed. Among her gifts to me personally was an introduction to the writing of Victoria Erickson, and so it is that I leave you with this quote from her in hopes that it serves as a reminder to live in and relish every moment of this wildly unpredictable life.
Rest in peace and love, Ryann; your soul is now as free as the love, wisdom and kindness which flowed so generously from you.
