Thank you Rachel & Jim for sharing Riley's precious life with us. She is a precious angel in the arms of Jesus. We are asking God to give you and your families strength and a peace that can only come from Him âž•
Riley has impacted our lives so much in her short life. She makes me think on Heaven and all my loved ones that were there to greet her. I can see Jesus smiling, holding her in His arms and the rejoicing of the Angels and the people around her, singing and praising God that another Child of God has come home! My prayer is that souls will come to know Jesus through Jim and Rachel's life and Rileys. I praise God and give Him all the Glory because He and only He alone will give us the strength to continue on Life's narrow path. I look forward to meeting Riley in Heaven one day and tell her how much she changed our lives! My prayers and thoughts are with you! John 3:16
Praying for this sweet family. May GOD reach down from heaven and comfort you. I love you all. Is 55: 8&9

Praying for You that Gid will give you comfort.
To baby Riley:
The world may never notice
if a rosebud doesn't bloom
or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon
but every life that ever forms
or ever comes to be
touches the world
in some small way for all eternity
the little one we longed for
was swiftly here and gone
but the love that was then planted
is a light that still shines on
and though our arms are empty
our hearts know what to do
every beating of our heart says
We will remember you.
Your family is in our prayers

We are so very sorry for your loss. We love you and are praying for comfort. He will never leave you and He will be with you every step of the way.
Such a beautiful angel! May God comfort you in the hard days to come, and you find peace in knowing her Aunt Rebecca and a host of other relatives are with her in heaven. Your WMHS family is praying for you.
Riley was born into a blessed and faithful family. You all are constantly in my prayers; I pray for peace and comfort. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding. God will never leave or forsake us. Love you Pool and Waggener Family...
Praying for you Dr. Pool. I don't know why this had to happen, but God definitely has a plan. I know Rebecca is loving on her though. Love you and God bless.
I'm so sorry for the passing of baby Riley. You and your family are in my prayers.
Praying for the family, May God bring comfort!!
Baby Riley you were loved the moment you were conceived. Rebecca and Jim may the love of Jesus forever surround you. May the peace of the Lorc be upon you both. Praise Jesus that you will be reunited with Riley one day day when you graduate to heaven. May the Holy Spirit comfort you both and give you both Gods peace that surpasses all understanding.
We are very saddened to hear this, Beth and I will be praying for you and Rachel.
I have no words to take the heartache away of Riley's homecoming to be with Jesus. I want to be selfish and keep her here with you, but then I think about her being with our Heavenly Father and I feel a peace. I hope you can find some comfort, and I'm praying for you daily. I love you always,

My thoughts and prayers go out for you, your husband and your families. Losing a child is such a devastating thing to go through. I too had the heartbreaking experience many years ago. I was so blessed to be surrounded by my family friends and a good church support too. We may not know the reason. I just had to trust in the Heavenly Father and know that I will see my Infant son again. You are not alone....
