I was 18 years old when I had the utmost honor to meet my future father.Rob and I had a beautiful child together Grandpa Riley's grandaughter Shannon Marie Riley.Grandpa and Barbara were in Florida the day I gave birth to Shannon,they arrived the very day I delivered Shannon. I will never forget the love and kindness he expressed to me and the uttermost joy he had when he first laid eyes on his grand-daughter. He reminded me of my father in so many ways 'old school',the love of family,baseball and the joy of having children around.I always rang his phone through the years to tell him how much I loved, and missed him .He went home to be with the Lord ,and I never got to physically see him again but I did call him before his passing ,and told him to dance with the angels. I love you grandpa and will miss hearing your voice.Love Darlene .
