RIP Mary. Wonderful wife, mother and servant of our Lord. Prayers and sympathy to all family.

Mrs. Riley was the most beautiful soul. I loved her she was the best teacher ! She was the best part of kindergarten. She also was a special guest at D'Youville in 2014 where she gave the commencement speech to our graduating class. Very blessed to have known her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My heartfelt condolences to the Riley family. May God be with you all. Mrs. Riley's Kindergarten created lasting memories and lifelong friendships. Thank you Mrs. Riley for always making the Lovejoy neighborhood a better place.

Sending my prayers and thoughts to her family. I was in her kindergarten class 32 years ago! Lots of fond memories!

She came right up to my sister and me and was so happy and proud. She was truly the best and wanted the best for everyone. Thank you Mrs. Riley for everything. The Riley family are in my thoughts snd prayers. Your mom was truly the best!

To everyone that is hurting I hope they see all these amazing comments and stories and they find some relief in knowing that this...
