Not sure what to say?

Riley Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Mrs. Riley's passing. She was one of my favorite teachers! She taught me life skills that I use every day! She encouraged me to be in the Knoxville Fair fashion show with the jumper I had made. I was very shy, but her encouragement and support made all the difference. She taught me how to prepare for a party. We made lots of food for basketball tournaments in our class. I still win fans when I make her Jerome Bars for showers and for friends. ...

Thank you for the opportunity to care for Myra. I admired her strength and determination to fight to the end. She was a blessing to get to know by her Memorial family. My heart breaks just thinking about your family missing a mother, wife, and friend. She had such a sweet spirit and a beautiful smile. May God carry you through your time of loss and despair. May she rest in peace.

Nan, So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I know it's a difficult time & I will be praying for you. God bless you and your family.
