Please know that our prayers are that God wraps His arms around you and comforts each of you during this difficult time. This poems gives me comfort and I am sending it your way to help comfort you too. To Riley: God Saw You Getting Tired God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "come to me." You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again.

Aloha and much love Burnett family, We were so saddened to hear of Riley. We so wish we could be there with you during this time. We were just talking about the time we stopped by to see Riley and Betsy when they lived in Tennesee, when our kids were small. We had such a good time in the short visit. The children were all so happy to be running around and playing together. Those were good times. You know how much we love you. We understand how hard it is to lose a family member, and to have your heart broken. We will ask that Jesus carry you and your family through this time, when you feel that you cannot do anymore. Remember there is a forever, with no suffering or pain. And Riley is there now. Love to all the "whole damn bunch'" Johnny and Susie Kasper

Becky and Miss Jackie,and the family: Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why Riley left this earth so soon, or why he left before we all were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you and all that loved him will begin to remember that Riley lived and that Riley's love and life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May looking back in memory of such a good man who loved his family so, help comfort you in the days to come. We are so sad for your loss and will have you all in our prayers. your friends Wayne and Forest Hunter and Beth Barber James and Jill Underhill

Betsy, Brad, and Matt and all the Burnett Family, I am so sorry to hear the news yesterday. We have lost a true warrior with first class character, one of courage, integrity, and the one I will always remember him by the most is his loyalty. God has taken a true family man, a man who has always put is family first and was very proud to be a Burnett, a true one of a kind. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your familys. I am so sad for your loss as the world lost a great guy. He is in God's hands now pain free, and will do God's work from above. I will miss Riley and love him always. May God be with all of you.

Riley was a co-worker of mine at Dupont for a number of years and I admired him quite a lot. He was a lot of fun and always good to be around. He was a hard worker and very concientous. He will be sorely missed. I hope and pray that his family and friends know that he is no longer struggling, and is in a better place. Heaven just gained one more angel. I'm gonna miss you, bubba.
