To my sister in the Lord Suezette and my God children Angela, Marquez, and LaShay. I am so sad to hear of the death of my God son David. My prayers are always with you. Looking back at our time at R. T. D. The song they used to sing " I've got to Clean up what I've messed up" allow me to remember the smile David could put on our face. Gone to soon but never forgotten. Love you guys.

David Riley was such a great young man and a perfect student. He was kind to everyone, did his work and always respectful. I would take a school full of young men like David in a heartbeat. We will miss your smiling face and energy. Love you my child, you will always be one of the original Northeast Prep Scholars. Your Principal, Melita Thomas
