MONTAGUE, Ria Darling Ria, three years ago today your suffering ended and you passed away peacefully into the night. Never a day goes by that I dont think about you, and how much I miss you, as do all your family. At times sadness will start to take over, but then I count my blessings and think about all the fun family and friends we shared in those 61 years we shared since we first met. I will love you forever, David.
