My family and I lived next door to the RILEY family in Wantagh in the early 1960's.  I remembered little Scott and that his mother was called Kit. Kit was lovely, always very sweet to me and would tell Scott that he could not always "bother me" that I was a big girl and didn't want to play with him every day.  Ironically, just tonight, i have been on Facebook with othr neighbors and we were wondering where Scott might be! I though Kit's name was less common, so I googled her and came upon this very sad obituary that tells me that Scott is no longer alive and his parents are gone. I am so sorry to hear this as will be the Melville girls who lived on the OTHER side of the Riley's. My family, the Robinsons, lived right next door.  My mother, Thelma, spent many an hour with Kit. Sadly, my entire family is gone as well, including my only brother.  Those were good years in Wantagh. I am sorry for the losses the Riley family has suffered.   Dana Robinson Casella

Dear Kit, 
Your were a lifelong friend from my first days in Wantagh.  May God grant you peace as you are reunited with Jim and Scott 

Love, Claire

Aunt Catherine - You will be missed.  I'll miss your sense of humor and have learned from your courage and strength over the difficult times of the past few years.
