It is with both sadness and joy to announce that Ryan has joined his beautiful wife this morning.

I am joyful in knowing they are dancing together once again. I know he has missed her desperately these past 4 and half months.

Family is working on arranging services and I will post as soon they are finalized.

Please keep the family in positive thoughts as they navigate this.

Greetings Team,

On the night of Wednesday August 11th, our Beautiful Warrior Diana finally beat ALS. She is free of the disease that she fought on this earth. She is now dancing in the arms of her Beautiful Mother that went before her.

Although we must find the strength to continue in this life without her physical presence, I know she will be making visits to everyone with her spiritual presence.

We will miss her laugh and her contagious optimism, but she taught each of us to ALWAYS find the positive no matter what you are facing.

Please come out to show love for her if you can.

Monday 16th viewing 1pm-8pm
Tuesday 17th viewing 1pm-8pm.
Wednesday 18th funeral service 11am.

Attention Team Warriors!!!
Its Update time again., but sadly its not good news. You see back in March we found out that our ultimate warrior’s medication (cabometrx) had stopped working. -which honestly, we were ok with because most only get 1 year out of it and Ryan got over 2 years. And we assumed it would just be on to the next medications, for another year or 2 Unfortunately, we assumed wrong!!!
You see after being admitted to Chelsea hospital 05/25 through 05/28 where he was treated for double Pneumonia, had 1.61 liters drained from his left lung and discharged. Sadly by that night he started to rapidly decline and by Monday 05/31 our son Jonathan rushed him to UofM Emergency room where he was immediately admitted And remains. Not only has the cancer spread to his left eye, and head, it decided to run rampant in his lower left lobe and spread to the upper right lobe. Which is also causing his left lung to continue to fill. Since he had a second draining done on Wednesday where they removed another liter and a half, his lung is already filling up again it looks like the doctors will be placing a stent Monday or Tuesday.
With these now very unnecessary visitors’ restrictions still in place stating 1 visitor per day Not only does this complicate our children/family-being able to see him, but it stops me completely from being able to see my husband.
With that being said we are asking for extra prayers, and/or thoughts. To help guide the medical teams while keeping Ryan Rolf safe and bringing him home

March is Cancer Awareness Month

02/23/2021

Blessed are those who give with love, kind souls with hearts of gold.
Who knows that life is made richer by helping another's dream unfold.
Blessed are those who are compassionate.
Who make the days seem brighter by lifting spirits up.
And helping burdens feel much lighter
This gift comes with thankful praise for everything you do.
Oh, how wonderful the world will be when more become just like you!!!

A few weeks ago, we received a package with 200 wristbands showing support for both Ryan and I. ( ) from which I had hopes of two things.
1. To continue much needed awareness for both Renal Cell Carcinoma and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
2. To maybe have a small fundraiser if an interest seemed peaked.
Well, these wristbands came at the same time our youngest Crystal Leigh Rolf just happened to be home but was headed back to school soon. After I gave her one to wear, she ask if she could take some because she thought a few of her Sorority sister’s might buy 1 in support... -
Well let me tell you how much amazing love and support has been pouring in so far...$725.00.
With as much as we would love to thank each one individually that would be a whole lot of typing…. All with my eyes… so, I hope this heartfelt shout out of gratitude to all our amazing supporters from
Lambda Chi Alpha ΛΧΑ
Alpha Sigma Tau AΣT
Delta Zeta ΔZ
will be a good start ... You are forever in our hearts and Prayers We love you to the moon and back again.

If any of you are interested in a bracelet please message me -with/for details
