To Wayne and the family of Dennis Riggan:
We are sorry to hear about him and even though it is going to be hard to be without him, we can be comforted in knowing that he is not suffering anymore because we know that he is with our heavenly father now and one of the things that we remember the most is that no matter what he always had a smile on his face and if he would see anyone in need he would do his best to help them, He will never be forgotten.
The Austin Family!
