Dear Steve and Lisa,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Even when a loved one is "old" it seems too soon for them to die. It seems especially hard during the holidays. I am glad you posted the obituary here in Salt Lake City so we could reestablish contact with you. Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Riska Family, I'm sure you don't know me but I would like to tell you as you know what a wonderful example yout Father was to me as a young man growing up in Roswell, NM. Your Dad was my first home teaching companion. He would come pick me up in his little Datsun PU truck and off we would go but never before having a prayer that the Spirit would be with us. He taught by example. I loved him and will never forget him.
