Riley my brother, I’m so grateful that I was able to spend time with you on Friday and tell how much I love you and how grateful I was for your friendship. I will NEVER forget what you and your wife Michelle did for me when Travis and I had our car accident back in September. How you selflessly came and picked us up from the ER and drover us around ALL DAY to look for our dog (I mean pet) Kayden, and we found him after 16 hours. That experience and the last three years of our friendship  gave  me the opportunity to see the true, sincere, loving, kind, generous, gentle, sweet, raw honesty, true friend you were to me.  I will forever love you my brother and I will be here to walk through this with Michelle. You brought her into our lives and we are all the better for knowing y’all and having the unique opportunity to know you on a personal level. You were my friend. We had the most intimate conversations about life, love, the world, religion,  and friendship. I will forever keep you close to my heart and remember the Great Person you were. I love you. “Hey now” in my Riley voice. 

My sincerest condolences to your family and friends may God be with you all. Peace and blessings. May your rest in peace. Love always Bernadette
