Vic, Michelle,Melissa & Brian,
We were very saddened to read in the Conroe Courier about Pat. We have
very fond memories of Pat and your family while you made River Plantation
your home. I remember the girls during their high school years and with
the Conroe Tigers golf team. And it was my pleasure to work with you on
the sale of your home many years ago; the same people who bought your
home are still there. It was RP's loss when you moved away. You are a
wonderful family. Please accept our sincere sympathies.

What a blessing it was to get to know Mrs. Riley and her loving family. If they was every a couple that set the example for those around them....it was Mr. and Mrs. Riley. May God bless your family from head to toe.

Pat was the dearest of friends. We were young newlyweds together while our husbands were in the Navy and we shared great times together. Though we lived some states away from each other, our families shared vacations together on many occasions. What a wonderful friend and how I miss her.
