| Hello, Just wanted to let you know there are people out here who are looking at Ryan's website. My son was diagnosed with AML M5a at the age of 14 this last May. His website is caringbridge.org/mt/trevorzuroff These last few months have been the very difficult. We will keep you in our prayers and hope your holidays are filled with peace. |

| Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chute: We have walked a difficult road together. Through all the difficulties it was such a pleasure to see Ryan grow and develop and become such a wonderful little person. I only wish we could have traveled further. But I know that while Ryan was with us, he always had the most wonderful, caring, and committed parents a child could have. Ryan will be sorely missed, but we will all have wonderful memories of his life with us. Thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand to others who carry a similar burden. You are special people. A. Kim Ritchey, MD |

| Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chute, Ryan touched many lives during the short time that he was with us. I feel priviledged to have known him and to have been part of his life. I honestly believe that when I looked into his eyes I was looking at an angel sent to us from God. He was always so playful, and I will forever remeber him sleeping in his laundry basket. While words can never ease your pain, please know that many people loved Ryan. Take care of each other! Love, Becca Newland |

| Dear Mr & Mrs Chute: We are all so sorry about Ryan's death. Though words can never relieve your sadness, we all will remember Ryan's smiling face (and his always runny nose). He was a great inspiration to us. Take comfort in the times you enjoyed with Ryan - Christmas, his birthday cake, and the trip to Space Center. I will remember your rocking him peacefully in your arms. May your loss be lessened by cherishing those many precious moments. Fondly, Seth Corey |

| Dear Mrs. and Mr. Chute Ryan's smiling and playful face is in front of my eyes and will always be in my heart. He was a true fighter, and came out of intensive care, so many times, and kept going. You did the very best for your son. I also wish, if the outcome could be different. He is the God's little angel, and its his loving memory that we willl cherish for a long...long time. Take care of yourselves. Love Rakesh Goyal |
