I've been thinking about you alot today and all the things you accomplished in your short little life. You have changed so many hearts and brought so many people together to fight against child abuse in your name. Such a legacy you have left for such a little girl!! I am so proud of you Riley Ann and I love you so much!!! Thank you Sheryl for letting us love her too.
hugs Marsha
Can you come hug your Grandma. She needs your great big hugs right now. Tell her how much you Love her, and that you are doing ok. Tell her don't cry anymore, because she misses you so much.
shhhhh, whisper to her in her sleep, "I Love you".....Sweet dreams XOXOXO
I think about you so much Riley. I wish you could be here with your family and so many friends that love you deeply. I pray for your loved ones in pain wanting the ability to see you, hold you, smell you, touch you. Hugging you.
Well I was able to get it off of her Friday morning. I sprayed it with Shout and there was not 1 stain on it (YEAH). Saturday morning, she had to wear it again to her bowling league. lol. Barbie, thank you, I will need more transfers, I have a feeling that I am going to have to keep Ryleigh supplied with tee shirts. lol. I cant figure out how to set my print to the mirror image. Also, I'm sorry, you were correct when you said I ordered 2 larges. I had ordered 1 for my daughter just incase she was able to attend. I wanted to make sure you had enough with you to be able to give 1 to those of us that did get to attend. Christina, if Sheryl doesn't have any buttons left, I will send mine to you. Ryleigh has one so I can share hers. Sheryl, Susan, Ruhla, Karen, Ray Ray. I'm sorry I wasnt able to make back to Galveston on saturday, My father is in the hospital, so I went to visit with him for awhile. They have him on morphine, the visit was interesting..lol. He almost had me convinced that one of my cousins was my nephew..lol, then he snapped to who I was talking about and corrected himself..It was the morphine talking. In june they put 2 stints in his rt leg, and he has severe pain in his leg and hip. They dont know what is causing the pain, but they are going to do some kind of doppler test on monday. Barb..Ryleigh seems to like Schott as well. Her mother has been teaching her, not to talk to strangers unless she is with her for the last couple of months, so I'm guessing this is why she had to warm up to people thursday. When she was younger, she had to hug and kiss everyone that was in the room when we got ready to leave some place, even people she really didn't know. In the grocery store once, we were leaving, and she walked over to this lady that had just entered the store, took hand and started to walk off with her, that frightened Missy, so she started working with her as soon as she was old enough to understand what a stranger was. In away I think it is good, but I also think that may be why she has to warm up to someone she doesnt know, because she used to know no strangers. I bought the Houston Chronicle, it had Sheryl, and Ray Ray photo in it, I showed to to Ryleigh and asked her, who they were and she named them both.
I agree about the "dirt & children" they have to get dirty, along with fresh air and sunshine, to stay healthy..She has never slept with it..lol
God Bless you Baby Girl. Words can never express the love we have for you and we can only pray that
your sweet grandma finds peace in her life again. It is so hard for her to be without you and I pray daily for your family and you. One year has passed since you left us but you will remain forever in our hearts and prayers. I love you Riley Ann and you will always be a Princess to me!
Love Always,
Susan Al Bassam
Baby girl, You will always be loved and missed very much. I, among a world of others will never forget you, and we will all, always be here for your Grandma, Ray Ray, and family. You have a beautiful baby brother, which by the way has your eyes. SO SO beautiful. You have changed me forever (for the best). You have brought together a wonderful group of people and I am blessed to be apart of them. Uncle Ray is just so awesome, he is a wonderful young man (he misses you very much), Grandma is a beautiful, fantastic, loving person whom did not deserve to loose you. You have touched so many people, you reached in and wrapped your little fingers around our hearts and held on so tight that they will forever remain there. I love you sweetie. Forever and always Precious Angel.
really enjoyed playing in the part of the park that was completed. Ryleigh played with Kristena, Troy (I believed was his name, forgive me if that isn't correct). I think Ryleigh brought half of the park home with her, this child has never in her life been that dirty. LOL. We didn't get home until sometime after midnight, she didn't go to sleep on the way home like she normally would have. When Missy started getting her ready for bed, Ryleigh started pointing at the pictures of Riley on her button and shirt telling her who Riley is and threw a fit not wanting to take her shirt off, so her mom let her sleep in it..Then removed the button and blue ribbon after she went to sleep. Normally Missy wouldnt have allowed her to go to bed without bath, let alone in a dirty T-shirt.
Now you made me cry again !!! How sweet to hear that. Ryleigh is adorable, just adorable. And Schott just loves her to death too. I'll try to find a sleep shirt her size and send her one w/ Riley's picture on it.
Now you will have to order more transfers...so Ryleigh will be able to have the ....days of the week....t-shirts, plus one for a ...sleep shirt.
Amazing how a sweet little girl, Riley Ann has left such a wonderful memory/impression on the smallest of children.
Dirt???? you say....well that is part of being a child. When I see children with the daily remains, I know that they have enjoyed their day to the fullest.
I am always thinking of you Riley, and your family. I dont think the pain of you being gone will every fade from their hearts nor ours. But, it is a blessing that through all of this, that they know what a wonderful Circle of Friends that have come together to be there whenever they need. God Bless all of those who support the Sawyers Family and friends. We all miss a precious wonderful little girl, Riley Ann Sawyers. She has forever bonded us together.
I love you, I will always love you and remember you! I will always hold you as dear as if you were mine. No one, except for my own granddaughters, has touched my heart as you have!
I told your Gram I would not take off my purple bracelet during your birthday week in March. Turns out, I haven't taken it off since. I've thought about you today, all day. It's strange how the pictures of you and your memories, seem to give me memories too. I'll never forget you and you'll always be everyone's little angel girl.
Sweet Riley I have thought about you every day since I have known you. You will always and forever be in my heart. You are so loved little angel.....................
Riley, I have thought all day about you and what you endured a year ago today. I am so sorry neither I nor anyone else was there to help and protect you. I imagined you waking up that day excited for new adventures. I still am as full of hatred and disgust for those monsters as I was when I first heard your story. I pray that you are safe in heaven. I am so, so sorry little angel. You were cheated out of your life. I am so sorry.
I love you little Riley....you have changed so many lives....until we meet someday...you are always in my heart, keep smiling down on all of us from heaven and working your magic little doll......love you so much, Marsha
Riley Anne - A year ago today as we know it, is by no means the end of your life, but only the end of your temporary life here on earth. I know in my heart as God has taught me, you continue to live an abundant and most beautiful eternal life in Heaven. I am sorry I could not be with your Grandma, Uncle Ray and all of our friends today in Galveston to honor you and share with them how your life has touched our hearts forever. You are a shining star and blessing from above. Today I am sending you a great big hug and kiss to let you know how much I love you. God is with you and us always.

Your words are so touching. You have covered everything.
Thanks for being a part of the dedication, along with Ruhla, Jennifer, Barbie, Susan, Alisha and others.

I am still so sorry little angel
Riley, I have thought all day about you and what you endured a year ago today. I am so sorry neither I nor anyone else was there to help and protect you. I imagined you waking up that day excited for new adventures. I still am as full of hatred and disgust for those monsters as I was when I first heard your story. I pray that you are safe in heaven. I am so, so sorry little angel. You were cheated out of your life. I am so sorry.
To Riley
Thinking of you as always. I love you, and wish you could be here; although I know you are safe and happy. I pray for Grandma everyday!
