Trudie and Michael need time....time to mourn the loss of their Son, and time to learn how to live without him

Waikato

Losing a child is something no one can plan for, the most unimaginable thing to happen to a parent.

On Wednesday 30th September Riley passed away. At 15 years old his life was only beginning.

Son of Trudie and Michael, brother to Selena and Arleea.....Grandson, Nephew, Cousin and loved by so many friends and family.

Riley attended Totara Tots as a preschooler, St Francis Thames and Puriri Primary schools, Hauraki Plains College and most recently Thames High School.

At the celebration of Riley's life we learnt that Riley was supportive of so many, and had helped many friends through difficult times. Now it is our turn to help Riley's family deal with such a tragic loss.

I am a friend of the family. My boys were friends with Riley during primary school at St Francis, Thames and my daughter is still at St Francis with Riley's sister Arleea

Funds raised will be gifted to Trudie and Michael to relieve the financial pressures of live and allow them time to grieve without the pressure of having to return to work immediately
