Ryder James Mendelke, son of Nicholas and Anne Mendelke (McDermott) was born and passed away on March 22, 2019. A gathering of family and friends will be hosted at Reiff Memorials in Cascade, Iowa on April 27th.
Sweet little Ryder, please take God by the hand. He’s taking you to heaven, that had to be his plan.
Ask him all those secret things, that every person wants to know. Like how he thought of rainbows and put magic in the snow.
When you get to heaven, I know you’ll see dziadzi. He’s the man who picked you out, just for your mom and me.
For now, he’ll take good care of you until we’re by your side. As we wait for our reunion with every turning tide.
Please know that we will think of you; Morning, noon, and night. And that every day we fight for you with all our strength and might.
Remember, you did nothing wrong and that we wanted you to stay. Sometimes God has other plans, no matter how hard you pray.
Please, watch over mommy. Because she needs you, oh so bad. Remember that she loves you, and that’s why she’s so, so sad.
Don’t forget to do the same for me, as I’ll need you by my side. Sometimes even daddy can’t do anything but cry.
We love you! We love you!, We love you! That is all that we can say. Until that moment comes to pass, when we meet again someday.
