Len, Kevin & Marc... big hug coming your way! I saw you mom a few years ago when she was at St. Clare's rehab. I walked into the lobby and saw her. Called out " Mrs. Riker?" and she said " Liz Kelly?". We chatted for quite some time. Catching up on you boys and what was going on with her. She even gave me a tour of the place! I have very fond memories of your mom (and your dad too) from Indian Lake. I hope you find peace in knowing they are together again. Going on what ever adventures they want but still keeping a watch over you 3! Wishing you peace & happiness in 2023... Liz

To all the Riker's
May the decades of wonderful memories console your loss! May the many students, swimmers, and Denville ites that your Mom met and had an impact on allow you the comfort of what an exceptional person she was. I personally recall her pulling me aside after a Hub Lakes swim meet in 1970 and telling me to keep up the effort on my butterfly "you cant get better without making an effort". There will be many stories like this. I am sure that she is working the "room" in all the other "Denvile Angels".
May Christmas ease your pain.
Condolences from "The McElroy's"

May it help in some small way that our prayers and love are with you. Your mom contributed her talents, time and most of all love to her family, friends and community.

Q: What 3 words best describe Florence and why?
A:
“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”
Quote from Aeschylusu
“We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.”

Len, Kevin and Marc, I am so sad to hear of your moms passing. What a wonderful person and friend. I loved stopping buy when I was home and she'd catch me up on you all. What a Great Mom, teacher, educator and all round kind person. It was an honor to know both your parents. Prayers to all and your families.

Dear Marc, Kevin, Len and Family,
Sending love, thoughts, and prayers during this difficult time. Your Mom touched so many lives in the best possible way. I’m grateful for the wisdom and kindness your Mom shared with me. I enjoyed speaking with your Mom as she genuinely cared about other people and was happy to learn of their accomplishments. Most of all, she was very proud of her own kids.

Condolences to Bunny’s Family. We knew Bunny for many years since we moved into Indian Lake back in 1975. All my children, Colleen, Dan Jr. and Kevin went to swim classes while Bunny was running the classes. About 6 or 7 years ago I volunteer to drive for Meals on Wheels and I did deliver to Bunny’s home now and then. We are sorry to hear of her passing. May she Rest In Peace. Dan and Sharon Daly.

Florence was one of my dad's dearest friends. During her teaching career, she was the first teacher for hundreds of kindergarten children. With her kindness and gentle ways, she will never be forgotten as the teacher who taught the most impressionable little ones and paved the way for their future education.

To the Riker and extended family - we are so deeply sad to hear this news. Although I knew Mrs. Riker through most of my younger years, I really got to know her after Mr. Riker passed. I loved their love story, I was amazed by her profound strength, but I so admired her faith. I am sure she was welcomed into heaven by her love, and she is resting in God’s eternal peace and grace. Sincerely, Michele McCue Shaffer & Steve Shaffer
