Last night we went to the wake for Little Riley... My heart breaks for his family... Little Riley is my son in law Ben's cousin.... His mother Pamela is Ben's mothers sister. So they have left already to go to the funeral... It is around 1pm today but there are a lot of ceremonies planned before the actual service... Little Riley was a volunteer Fireman killed while assisting an accident victim... Stupid lady saw the flashing lights but tried to go around and hit the turned over SUV... Little Riley and his nephew were on the other side... when she hit the SUV it spun around and trapped Little Riley against the guard rail... and threw his nephew, Leroy, out into the road where he was hit by another vehicle... Leroy is still in the hospital and while he's expected to recover he's not doing so well.. Its very sad... Mama I'm borrowing your yellow rose to share with Little Riley today... he was a good friend to Cara... sometimes she felt like he was the only friend she had... He never turned against her... She talked about how they would sit on the back steps and smoke a cigarette and he would help her not to feel so sad... I know she was there to greet him when he crossed.... Will you and Cara tell Little Riley to be sure to let his family know he's with them. <>Mama I miss you all so much... but its the hardest seeing Cara pass over... Please give her an extra hug for me today... Love You All Elissa...

I\'m so sorry for you and this family. It is so hard to see young lives taken so quickly. It is all around and especially more now that we\'ve lost children. I am sending prayers. I\'m sure Cara was there to greet him. Love Robin
For some reason I think Cara and Adam have a new very good friend. I wonder if Riley will be able to handle a sooped up fire-engine....you know how Adam is....
Sorrow and grief seems to me to be an ever burgwoning beast that sneaks up on us and takes the choicest.
Love ya, Kathy
