Not sure what to say?

I'm pretty sure it was Chirps who told me what you'd decided to call your son, and I remember thinking: what a cool name. I always looked forward to meeting Riley Benjamin Baird. Anyway, I'm very sorry.
With love and squalor,

To Dan

Dear Baird Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at the sad time. I went to school with Garth and Riley. Riley was such a special young man and made me smile everyday with a warm smile. You are all very lucky that you got to spend so much time with him and he will be sadly missed by so many. Godbless.

I work at the Charleston Community Day Care Center and have since 1989. Riley was in one of the first classes I had when I started there ( I taught in the same class with Karen Heltsley). I also had Garth in my class. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

Dear Baird family,
My deepest sympathy to your family. I knew Riley through my daughter, Callie, who graduated with Riley. I also worked with Riley in 4-H for several years. He was such a sweet, loveable young man that had a heart of gold. I will never forget the standing ovation at their graduation. Not only were the students cheering for Riley and his accomplishments, but for having been blessed by Riley. God bless you all.

Dan, Abby and siblings,
I am truly sorry for your loss but we know now that he is in a beautiful place looking down and watching over us. May peace be with you at this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Baird
I was so sorry to hear about Riley. He was such a special person and had such a big heart for everyone. I was cleaning my room the other day and I found a bracelet that Riley made for me. I went to school with Riley and was in 4-H. He was such an inspiration to not only me, but everyone he was around. Although he had it rough he never cared more for himself than he did for everyone else. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I know that Riley is in a better...

Riley is with God now no more pain no more bad days just good, He touched the lives of everyone who knew him we will miss him dearly. God be with you all my Love always Jamie
