Riley Rolph was born February 11, 1998 with a significant heart defect.  At 3 pounds, doctors felt she was too small to attempt the operation that would give her a chance at life.  Her parents prayed for a miracle and it was granted.

Riley grew to become a talented artist, honor roll student, and a friend to animals everywhere.  She greeted everyone she met with a smile; few could resist her compelling zest for life and sharp wit.  Riley planned to be President so that she could provide food and shelter for abandoned and homeless animals.

Riley passed away August 28, 2009, as a result of an on-going battle with a congenital heart condition, while holding her mother’s hand.  Her spirit lives on within the many she touched along the way.
