My thoughts and Prays are with you.

I know Kevin and is a wonderful person. His Father and Mother did a

great job on him, so I know the father a good man. He is in a better

place.

Bryant Eagerton Riley is my loving father-in-law. When Kevin and I decided that we where going to buy a home, there was no question on where we were going to live, right beside Ruthie and Bryant. Bryant was there every step of the way from helping clearing the land with his John Deer tractor, to helping us cut grass with his riding lawn mower. My favorite memories are with Brett, Noah, and Zach taking turns riding with him on the Tractor and lawn mower. We could be sitting in the family room and would hear the lawn mover and the kids would say, "Papa's here- and would run out outside to greet him. He was a wonderful man with such awesome qualities and I will miss him dearly. I truly was blessed to have had 13 wonderful years with "Pop". I will miss the laughs, the rides on the golf cart, and all of us cutting the grass together. Thank you so much pop for all of the great times that we shared-you will be in my heart and thoughts forever!

I Love You,

Kasey
