My thoughts are with the entire extended Ries family in this time. It’s sad to know the time with him is over here in this life. It also can be joyous to know he is comforted and still lives in the memories and impacts he made that live on forever. Remembering this gives me comfort when I am sad thinking of my loved ones that have passed. I smile broadly when I can hear what my mom would be telling me if she were here now, or I do something and I know its because of what she taught me, and is watching over me. May you all have those sweet times too remembering your wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. Hugs.
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Please do not hesitate to reach out, especially during this difficult time.
