Dear Deedee, Mrs. Riley, Buddy, Mike, Lola and the rest of your wonderful family.
Al and Anne always made me feel like one of the family when I came to visit, as did the all of you Riley brothers and sisters.
I will never forget that. Al and Anne raised a great family.
Now Al and Matt are back together.
God Bless all of you.
