Riley was one of my best friends.

Riley was quite literally the best person I ever knew. She was constantly so kind and supportive, and pushed me to always pursue my dreams and aspirations. She was creative, talented, and the funniest person I had ever met. From the first day I met her in 6th grade, she treated me like family. She was my best friend. I’ll never forget the first time I told her that. She was the most special person, and I miss her every single day.
I love you Riley. Can’t wait to see you again one day.

—Anna Shelton, one of Riley’s best friends
