4-9-90 Dear Mrs. White and family and friends, The 5th graders at [redacted] school have been moved and touched by Ryan and your family. We also have been educated by what Ryan has taught us about AIDS and how compassionate people need to be for each other. Right now, in our own health class, we are watching the television movie, "The Ryan White Story." Ryan stood for so much in his fight for an under standing of AIDS. Ryan was such a brave, fearless, com passionate, loving, young man. The world will truly miss Ryan but his spirit and love for life will remain with us, always... We've enclosed some poems and prayers to ease your pain and emptiness. Sincerely, Miss [redacted] and the 5th graders
[printed text] The children of God know the comfort of his touch, they will live forever in his arms.

[printed text] The Servants of Mary
Out Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was sent by his heavenly Father to bring us redemption and to teach us what we need to know about earthly life as we journey toward eternal life. One of the most important teachings of Jesus for us pilgrims concerns prayer. He taught us to pray and prayed himself. We read in the Gospel Hill that "large crowds would gather to hear him and to have their sickness cured but that he would always go off someplace where he could be alone and pray."
Today there are many people who consecrate their time in a special way by praying for themselves and for others. Among these people are the Priests and Brothers of the Order of the Friar Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These Servites have promised to pray for the person remembered in this Special Mass Program Booklet.
This promise includes a daily remembrance in the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the common prayerof Servite Communities, in the personal prayer of Priests and Brothers who praise God by meditating the Scriptures, the Rosary, the Way of the Cross, the Via Matris and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Because we will pray for you, we Servites in turn ask you to pray for us that we might be faithful to our life, to God and to you who believe in us.
The person remembered in this booklet has been enrolled in a Special Mass Program and a contribution has been made in their name to the Servants of Mary.
