Ryan’s My Space
 
 Man, this is terrible news. EQFL had a conference call today about the statewide vigils for Ryan to be held April 14th.
We will have one here in Palm Beach County.
The plan thus far is to meet before sunset at the front of Lake Worth City Hall. Light our candles, and then proceed to the park behind the City Hall Annex. There we will have speakers, read a letter from the family, a letter from Equality Florida, more sharing and some quiet time to honor Ryan and those we have lost to hate and violence.
Please let me know if your organization would like to participate.
This will be a simple event to honor Ryan. His family has expressed to Equality Florida and others that they want some good to come from his tragic death.
There were no formal introductions on our last conference call and it threw me when I realized that Ryan’s dad, brother and best friend were on the call. Yikes. I just wanted to pour my heart out to them, but I guess they saw our actions as such.
More info will follow, but I wanted you all to have the latest.
There is a very short fuse in this action, so all the help I can get will be great.
Contact me directly via email or phone. And perhaps we should use the discussion option on the meet up site to communicate to each other.
Be well beautiful people. We have today, no guarantees on tomorrow.
Much love,
ALLAN
