To the Riley Children and family, It saddens me to learn of the passing of your dear mother. She was a strong woman who had a kind spirit as well as a kind heart. Bettylou was a person who had taught me at times the real value of kindness. God had decided it was time for her to claim her home. My sincere prayers are with you all.
