Finding John Ramseier

23/11/2023

Today is Thansgiving and almost a year of our last update. Our family is thankful for the capacity to love, the strength, the understanding and the support to one another. These were the gifts we received from you from day number one in this journey and we are eternallygrateful for it. I want to take the time to acknowledge that when a heart is full of grief, sadness ,loneliness, anxiety or sorrows looking up to the creator and trusting in his care creates room for healing and compassion to oneself. If today is a hard day for anyone reading this post know that you were in our prayers and the Lord will provide and guide. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving day and may you fund the strength to create room for self compassion if needed.

We are never quite ready. But we are brave and the universe listens to brave. Because it's not a matter of finding yourself but rediscovering yourself under layers of judgement, love and fears. Know that if it's hard today, you are brave and the light is still within you. Even if it is dim it is still there and one day it will be lighting the path for others.

Update,

Thank you for giving John and our family the space needed to process and adjust. We now know that John was suffering alone with mental health issues. The day he left home, he had a mental health breakdown. While wondering in the woods, he became suicidal. Your fervent prayers and support to help find him played a critical role with his outcome, and we are eternally thankful for it. John and our family are getting the needed care to continue with our healing. It is our hope that one day when we are stronger we can give our testimony to others in order to support any others that are suffering in silence. Know that if you are feeling alone you are NOT ALONE. Know that there is HOPE, and know that together we can help carry on.

If you are helping with the search from Military Ridge Trail Epic area to Mt Horeb (starting time 10:45-11) or second area of search at the Badger Mill Creek know that the Verona clerical office is closed on the weekends, so the 845-7623 number will go unanswered. If you are positive you have found John please call 911. Any other important revelant information you encounter during the search and you feel is it important to share leave the comments or picture under this post. We will be following up the comments closely. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

The community was kind enough to make a meal train sign up list for the family and asked that we share the link incase any one would like to sign up to bring meals for the family.

A Meal Train page is active for The Ramseier Family. MealTrain.com simplifies the process of giving and receiving meals and more.

The police K9 unit came today to track John's movements from the house. They were able to find a fresh trail that lead to the Fireman's Park in Verona. We are planning two search parties for tomorrow to search the park area. The first search party will meet at Fireman's park in the shelter at 12:30pm, and the second team will be meeting at 4:30pm. For the later search team remember to bring flashlights, and for both teams wear appropriate cloths, bring water, fully charge your phones, gloves, and whistles. The woods have a lot of thorns and prepare with boots, coats and snacks.
