Not sure what to say?

To Derall's family, I want to express my condolences to you. I am saddened to learn of Derall's passing today. He was a good man, driven by strong morals and values. Family always came first with him. I worked with Derall. In fact, I was his boss for a time. I had compassion for him and the pain he experienced. I also had great respect for him, as he was a true example to me and others of respecting and loving his family above all else. I am certain he will be missed. Thank you for your...

Dear Kathy and Family,

We can't even begin to express how you and Bishop Riley have touched our lives, We all remember feeling and knowing that we would never have a Bishop that would touch, and effect all of us as your dear sweet husband did. He loved all of us so unconditionally, Kathy what a greater tribute could anyone ever have than one who loved and didn't judge others, as did our dear sweet Bishop Riley did, he served in such a Christ like way. What impresed us the most...

My deepest condolences to the family of Derall Riley. I just learned today of his passing. I worked with Derall at Farmers Insurance for many years and remember fondly the times he and I would visit, not only about insurance, but BYU basketball and life in general. I consider among my best friends at work and a mentor in many areas of life and a virtuous example. 3/2/2005

Sincerely yours,

Dear Kathy and family,
My heart goes out to you today. I know you loved this very special guy and so did we as a family. He got us thru some hard times both physically and spiritually. I will forever be grateful to him and you for all your love and guidance of our girls, Terra & Denice. I know that Derall was a great spiritual influence on both of our sons and their brides to get them married in the temple. We are deeply saddened at your loss but know that Derall is in a better place....

Bishop Riley was a great man. We'll always be grateful for his inspiration he blessed us with during the birth\death of our twins. God bless!

Kathy, Shauna and I are saddened by the passing of Derall. He was a friend, a great neighbor and the Bishop who work with two of our sons and got them on their missions.
Our sympathies to you and the family.

Kathy, I want you and your family to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I am so glad I had the opportunity and blessing to see both of you last summer while visiting in Utah. I have so many fond memories of serving with Bishop Riley in the Bennion 14th Ward. That time was truly a special time for me in the church and I think about it often. He will always be my Bishop. I want to thank you and your family for being such a wonderful example to my family. I know...
