I’m thinking of you today, but that is nothing new.  I thought about you yesterday and the days before that too.  I think of you in silence and often speak your name.  Now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.  Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part.  God now has you in his arms but you’ll always be in my heart. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at the Riley American Legion #328 from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Arrangements were entrusted by Samaritan Funeral Home.  Online condolences may be made to www.samaritanfunerals.com.
