Monticello, AR Thursday, August 22, 2019 Uncle Train as I called him will be truly missed. He was a fun, and loving person. I would often go by to see him in the nursing home and I always got a laugh. To the entire Riley Family I pray that God comfort and wrap his loving arms around each of you in your time of lossPaige (Hill) Stell
