My sincere sympathies to all the family. Dottie was a very special person and I'm thankful that we met. For me she was always a mentor; someone I looked up to and went to for advice. Both she and Ray were always there with a smile and a hug. I'll never forget the visits we had every summer at their beachouse in Narragansett. God bless them both and God bless all of you as you go through this time of mourning.

Dearest Cousins and families,
It is bitter/ sweet that I write to you at this time. The beautiful women who I attended her wedding, she trusted me with the care of her children, inspired me to attend nursing school and considered me a friend and equal, your Mom/Nonna, has entered the kingdom of heaven. As all will say over and over she was the epitome of "Irish eyes are Smiling". Always there when any one needed her and full of fun and life right to the end.
I will miss Aunt Doris in my life as you all will and we will all carry on and be full of joy that she is watching over us.
Riley family is Riley family and we will always be there for any of you.
God Bless and savor your fond memories. Love, Cousin Sharon

Dear Family: My prayers are with you all as we morn the passing of my Aunt Doris. I will always remember her with love and cherish the memories of the special family gatherings at the home on Ralls Dr and Bonnet Shores as well as the condo on Narragansett Beach and at Prestancia. She was a kind loving soul; truly one in a million. She always had a smile on her face and the "Riley" twinkle in her eyes. I know she is with our loved ones who have passed before her and has been welcomed with open arms. I am thankful and blessed to have had her in my life and claim her as part of my family.
