For Wyatt

My name is Mary and I could write a 300 page novel about how much I love the Riedl family. I'm an educated, successful woman that wouldn't be where I am without these people. This family knew me when I was a baby, and they constantly remind me. We've been there for each other through a number of ups and downs and I can't help but cry when I see them because I couldn't be more grateful for them. When I was a lost teenager, they took me in on multiple occasions without question and have always happily served in the role as a second family. There aren't enough words that can stress how loving and compassionate this family is. It's like I'm at a loss for words because words don't describe how wonderful they are. Tim and Marcia are those amazing parents that you kind of always wish you had. Marcia gives the best hugs and Tim will tell you worst jokes that are so bad you can't help but love them. They've raised some incredible children (who are like siblings to me): Tyler, Audra, Brianna, Kali and Shelby. And me. In a horrifying and tragic accident earlier today on May 22nd, Kali and her husband, James Graham lost their lives in a car accident. Kali and James left behind her incredibly beautiful, loving and playful six year old son, Wyatt. I recognize this isn't about me but to put this in perspective, Tim and Marcia took me in when I was 15 when I was going through a super difficult time, they had 5 kids to take care of already and I remember them scraping together pennies to buy me a beautiful outfit for my Homecoming school dance. Now is the time I pay it forward. While Tim and Marcia have enough love in the world to give to Wyatt, I want to  provide some sort of piece of mind while they grieve the loss of their beautiful daughter by helping out with their finances for Wyatt. Even a few dollars will help. The family appreciates any and all help - and we thank you so much.
