barrettPlease join me in praying for CatholicMom.com contributor Mary Ellen Barrett and her entire family following the tragic drowning death of her son Ryan.  Mary Ellen has written with such courage and inspiration about her tremendous relationship with Ryan - she has inspired and uplifted many families around the world.  At a time like this, it's very difficult to find the words to express what is in our hearts - please join me in praying for the repose of Ryan's soul and for this very special family.
