Mary cherished her many good friends, Charon, Sandy, Sue, Shirley, Joan, Gail, Claudette, Carolyn and Lee, to name a few. She loved to collect many types of things, but what she treasured most was her collection of family and friends.

Graveside services will be held at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Apple Valley on Saturday, Feb 12th, 2011 at 10 am. You have seen me grow up and you have helped me become who I am today. You inspire me and are one of the strongest people I know. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Your memories will live on forever and you will for-ever remain in my heart. I miss and love you so much. I can't say it enough. This is not goodbye but simply see you later. I love you. R.I.P. Grandma. -Jacinda Rose Riggs I just don't know why things happen half the time, without reason, without rhyme. Lovely, sweet young woman, daughter, wife and mother. Makes no sense to me, I just have to believe she flew up to heaven on the wings of angels, by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees. And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin' and I know she's smilin' sayin', "Don't worry 'bout me." -Alyssa Nicole Riggs Family is the root of all that is good in our lives, and I am so grateful for mine. "I never knew I would be so young when I lost my grandma, or be this old and need her so much". "I MISS YOU GRANDMA! RIP we will get through this each and every one of us will stick together and fight through the hard times of life because that is what family does, is stay together in everything. We may have differences in things but most of all we love one another and we always will. I love you!!!! -Kaylynn Marie Riggs
