Dear Lumbard Family,
Words absolutely cannot express how heartbroken I am for you. Wishing you all the love, hugs, and support as you go through this difficult time. Your family has such a special place in my heart, and Riley is so loved. 
If you need anything at all I’m here for you.  

If you stand in the places they loved,
We can almost feel their presence.
We see the world through their eyes,
And it’s as if they’re whispering, “I’m still here.
In every SUNSET, in every BREEZE, in every corner of this world we explored, together.”
All my love, 
Jessamy

Dear Lumbard Family,

My heart is with you as you walk through the unimaginable loss of your beautiful daughter, Riley. There are no words that can truly ease the weight of this sorrow, but please know I am holding your family close in prayer. I am asking the Lord to surround you with His perfect peace, to carry you moment by moment, and to comfort your hearts in a way that only He can.

Over the years, I’ve come to deeply admire your family. Your children have always stood out for their kindness, joy, and the light they bring to those around them. It has been a blessing to witness that kind of love and character in them—it speaks volumes of the love and strength within your home.

I will continue to lift you up, praying that the nearness of God brings strength in the hardest moments, and that His presence meets you tenderly in your grief.

Austin Lumbard, it's truly heartbreaking for the loss of your 3 year old daughter. Her life was taken away at only 3 years old. My cousin's child is 2 months younger than Riley, and I remember seeing her when you went to the Buckingham Parade in the 4th of July. 

-From Aubrey Lumbard's Former Classmate, Ethan Avalos

We were learning a Chinese idiom, which translates to "a frog at the bottom of a well." Riley was pretending to be the frog, jumping out of the well to see the world.

Austin, Colleen, Aubrey, Jack, Wyatt, and Hunter, 

There are truly no words that can carry the weight of this kind of loss, but please know that my heart is with you… aching, breaking, and holding space for your beautiful Riley.

I love your family so deeply. It has been a gift to know and teach Aubrey, and through her, I’ve come to see what a remarkable, loving family she comes from.

Riley’s light will always shine. I will never forget her name, and I will continue to lift your family in my heart and prayers each day.

With all my love and deepest sympathy,
Mrs. Hurst

Our hearts goes out to you and your family during this time of grief. Sending you all our love and deepest condolences

We will never forget you, Riley. You will forever be in our hearts!

With Love,

Our deepest condolences and thoughts for all of you. Please let us know if there's anything we can do. Sincerely, Donna Hisey and Greg Lipford

Austin,

Many of us who serve alongside you in our community also share in the joys and challenges of raising children around the same age. That shared experience creates a quiet bond. And in you, it has always been so clear how deeply you love and lead your family with strength, presence, and care.

I believe that when there is love, it never truly leaves. The love inside stays with her always and lives on in you and those who knew her.

Hold on to your faith and may it be your anchor through this sorrow. May perpetual light shine upon her soul, and may God surround you and your family with comfort and peace in the days ahead.

With love, respect, and heartfelt sympathy —despite all else,

Lana, Mark, Joey & Jay

Praying hard for the entire family, Riley was born just two months after my youngest. We hoped for a play date. Comforted to know God is holding her tight. My sincerest condolences to the entire Lumbard family.

AJ and Colleen:  I’m heartbroken to learn of the passing of my great granddaughter, Riley.  Jesus is holding her tight!  May the Holy Spirit, our Comforter, bring you peace and hold you close.  Grandma Mary

Born into the sweetest most loving family was Miss Riley Sophia. So fun  to watch grow and  even better when she entrusted you with a sweet cuddle or a little hand to hold. Christmas night past as she and her two  cousins Freya and Poppy squish in tight for some fun playtime together and did not want to part at evenings end.  A precious angel gone home to be with God, I have no doubt the brightest purple and orange skies will be the artwork of Riley.  Our hearts are broken and we cover her precious mom and dad, grandparents, and siblings in prayer. Until we meet again Riley, cover Jack, Wyatt, Hunter, and Aubrey in the sweetest dreams and best memories of their precious baby sister. 

All of our love always and forever.
The Santoro cousins.

To Dear Riley:

I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear this news. Sweet Riley, may you continue to be peaceful and beautiful in heaven.

I was your morning class teacher at preschool. Almost morning your dad would bring you to school. You always loved having him walk you to the front desk, where you'd stand on tiptoes to clock in your own attendance before quietly heading to the classroom. You looked so lovely every day—I couldn't help but smile whenever I saw you. Your Chinese was good, and you always wore the sweetest smile when we chatted.

Remembering these moments fills my heart with longing. May you find peace in the next world. We will always cherish the memory of your bright, beautiful spirit.

With love forever, 
Chen Laoshi

Our hearts are breaking for all of you. We are sending prayers and hugs. Your little angel will always be in our thoughts and hearts.
Love,
Ron & Nan Okum
Erin & Rob Gilmore

For all of us at Franciscan Renewal Center our prayers and thoughts are with you always. I will attend Riley’s celebration of life and we remember her at all Masses sharing her name. God bless the entire family and friends. 
Charlie Brown.

Dear Lumbard Family, 

Thank you for sharing your Riley with my son River at the neighborhood park. They liked to play in the sand box together and Riley always greeted River with a sweet smile. When River forgot his sand toys, Riley was very happy to share with him. Sending you all love and strength as you navigate this time. May God wrap you in his love and care. 
Sincerely, 

The Mckeefery Family

Prayers for all the family.  Riley was such a sweet little girl and will be missed dearly.  She had such a vibrant personality and was a lot of fun to play and share polish with.

With my most sincere sorry for your loss !
Riley will be with the angels now as she was also an angel !!!.
