To the family of Riley, We did not know Riley, but our hearts are saddened to hear this. We knew him through our niece, Pam Gapp and heard of the many good times they had with Riley growing up. Through the sadness, we are so thankful that he had a personal relationship with his Lord and Savior. May God wrap his loving arms around you and grant you peace and strength through the difficult days ahead. What joy in knowing that you will see him again someday!
