His legacy
Ryland Josef William Shardell  
Ryland Josef William was born on September 7, 2005 at Grant Medical Center in Columbus Ohio.  Allison was 41 weeks pregnant, and had a picture perfect pregnancy with no complications.

Ryland was 7 lbs, 10 ounces at birth and was 20 1/2 inches long. 

The cause of Ryland's passing is unknown.  He passed away sometime during birth.
In honor of Ryland...  
In honor of Ryland's short life, Ryland's family has started a non-profit organization called Ryland's Hope, found at http://www.rylandshope.com.  This organization raises money in order to assist families in central & northern Ohio and southern Michigan facing the unexpected loss of a child.  This assistance can be used for grief counseling, memorials (including miscarriage burial vessels), funerals, and cremation.  Ryland's Hope also distributes care packages to families grieving the loss of a child.

The Shardell family is also in the process of starting a chapter of the Elizabeth Ministry in Licking County, Ohio.  This ministry is an international program in the Catholic Church that supports women and families during pregnancy, birth, and life with a newborn.  In addition, the Elizabeth Ministry offers support to families who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death.
