May you continue to live forever in the loving arms of the Prince Of Peace, my Hero. Suzanne XOXO

Thomas, I hope you and your family are healing.

Your courageous Soul lives on, my Hero. Rest well in the loving arms of Jesus. XOXO

Love to Riley's family and all those impacted by the tragedy.

No greater love is this than giving up your life for your friends. Riley did just that and he is a hero in the truest sense.

Thomas and Natalie, I’m still stunned by Riley’s tragic and heroic death. Anniversaries can be hard reminder of loss. I wanted you to know that you and your family are being lifted up in prayer.

When I first saw the news story of what happened, what captured my attention most was the ultimate sacrifice for others this young man made -- I wanted to know more about him and in seeing the various pictures in the news was deeply impressed at the love and warmth radiating from his countenance. I kept these photos on a thumb drive and in running across them again yesterday, was touched all over again. My eyes have welled up several times, so can only imagine what his loved ones feel. ...

Thank you for raising such a fine young man and condolences on your unimaginable loss. I was at a story convention where Donald Davis shared your son's touching story. I welled up with tears and everyone in the room was deeply affected. I'm glad his story will continue to live on this way. God Bless.

We are from Quebec, Canada. My 11 year old son asked me who I think he should choose as a hero for his class oral presentation. i spoke about Riley and my son wanted to talk about him. He did his oral today and just wanted to let you all know his name is not forgotten and a few more kids will talk about what a wonderful and brave person Riley was.
God bless him.
