For news such as this, I know of nobody that would blame you for adding to the bandwidth and number of messages.  Friends are the family that you choose, and your friends and family sometimes need to hear about information like this so that they can give you the support you need.  Even if it is a place to vent or a shoulder to cry on.

Your family, and especially Ryan it seems, needs time to heal from this tragedy.  Just remember that you have friends that will help you if you ask them to.
