Yet another Riley cousin goes on before us to be with our Heavenly Father and Riley Family who have gone before us, OOO! what a wonderfull reunion.

Robert Lee, Ronnie and Family- Lillian was a wonderful and special lady. I will never forget her kindness to me from childhood through adulthood. Losing a parent or grandparent is difficult, but as long as you have your memories no one is ever truly gone. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express what our grandma truly meant to us. Though she will be missed every day, we know that she is now with her friends and family in Heaven. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers during this tough time.

I'm sorry I couldn't make up there Rob. You're in my prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Your nephew, Nathan

Dear Uncle Robert Lee, Ronnie, Ellen, Brandon, Heather, Holly and grandchildren-in-law, We are happy that Aunt Lillian's pain is over and that she can finally see, and be with, the God who made her, and then redeemed her at Calvary. We are sad and tearful for all of us who are left behind. There's a profoundly deep hole we feel in our hearts. The house on Hinton Street in Franklin will be missing someone, it'll be quieter the next time we visit. Aunt Lillian used to love to laugh at crazy stories about my nursing experiences in the emergency room. We'll miss that laugh. Too, I'm so glad to have had her turkey dumplings. No one made them quite like her. Moreover, we're so glad she got to see Sarah! We pray for God's sustaining grace for you during these cold, dark winter days ahead. We pray that the same power that Jesus displayed when He defeated death, the same power He'll manifest when He raises Aunt Lillian from her sleep on that glorious day, will be the resurrection power that keeps you as you move forward. We love you all so very much and wish we could be with you. Although not in physical presence, our hearts, minds, thoughts and prayers will be with you on Tuesday and beyond. All of our love, James, Carol amp; Sarah Elizabeth Ann
