In precious memory of our dear
father and my husband, Richard
Bradford Riggleman, who departed
28 years ago, August 18th. j..
God has taken you, dear father,
To His heaven up above;
But you left behind your kindness,
And all of your devoted love.
God has taken you up to Jesus,
To live with Him up there;
And we know that He will care
for you,
AS He does for us down herel
Pop has gone where there's no
doubt,
Nor any kind of fears;
For you see he went with Jesus
And has been there for % sad and
lonely years.
Sadly missed by his wife, Daisie
Ellen; sons John, Harry and
