Not sure what to say?

I remember Mr. Riga as a father figure, after all he was my best friend's Dad. I can still hear Debbie saying "Daaaad" Robin doesn't want to know all about that adventure!

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
May you find comfort in all of the memories you hold dear to your heart. Stacey (Gallagher) Norton
