Mr Riley and I met about 14 years ago when me and Michael started dating. Kim and Raymond would come to visit us in North Carolina as often as they could. I remember we all packed up and went to the mall in Rocky Mount and kim and Leanna was going shopping. After about 30 mins Raymond and I saw a bench and we both looked at each other and we took a seat took a selfie and sat there until they finished shopping. We were not up to do all that walking. It will be a memory I will always remember. Take your rest "pops". I love you and you will always be remembered.
Our belated heartfelt condolences and deepest of sympathies to all of his family members, friends, classmates, coworkers, and all of his other loved ones, during all of their times of bereavement, mourning, and grieving. IN THE BLESSED, HOLY, AND MOST RIGHTEOUS NAME OF my PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST AMEN AND AMEN.
