I extend my sincere condolences and prayers for the family! I met this beautiful lady at the House of God Church Avondale Estates, GA. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. I enjoyed the 2005 Cruise to Nassau Bahamas with Riley and her husband, Booker and Priscilla Pesrson, and my sister, Barbara Thomas. We had an awesome time. She will be missed. I pray that God comfort the family in this difficult time. I love you all. Waletha Bush
