     Ryver had a deep faith in God and those that knew her were always able to ask her questions about God and the Bible. She often gave out Bibles to others when they wanted to know more about Jesus, her Savior. She attended church camp each year since 1st grade. The last year she was a counselor-in-training. She loved Jesus and loved others, just as God loved her.
