My Best Friend;

On Thursday morning at 4 am my mother passed away. She was recovering from a bad fall at home that broke her left hip and right arm.

She never lost her ability to communicate. She was never in any pain. She was just tired, a good mind, in a broken body. She will be missed.

To all my customers, friends, and fellow flyers, I’ll need some time to gather up all of my orders and get them out to you. MY goal is to have everything to you by Christmas.

After the New Year, I’ll have to find a new residence to open up shop. I will be back in some capacity.

Thank you all,
Scott Riese

My best to you, it's never easy losing a loved one, and for Mom it's twice as hard!  My prayers go with you & your family.
Blessings in hard times,

My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.  I am sure your customers and friends in aeromodeling realize what is more important, and will tell you to take as long as you need to grieve and recover.

Scott,

As yet, I haven't lost a spouse or kids, but have lost a Mom. That hurts so deep. It never goes away, completely, but one gets used to the ache, in time. Time doesn't heal all, but it eases the pain. My Dad went to join his bride a few months later, so I was a total orphan, next to go, before I'd got around the idea of being a half-orphan.

BUT, life does go on, and we owe it to - particularly - our parents to see that it does. You have picked up the torch; don't drop it. It will feel very heavy...

Scott,

What can be said at a time like this??  There is just nothing that will ease the pain caused by loss of a parent, as those of us who have experienced it know too well.

Please know that we are concerned and are praying for your family.

Scott,

You, and your family, are in our thoughts and prayers.  You will always remember your Mom, so she will truly never leave you.  After a while, the pain will leave and the memories left will be good ones.  Hang on and don't worry about customers.  All to many of us have been where you are right now and we understand.

So sorry for your loss, Scott.  My mother passed away this past June, so I can empathize with you.  I'll remember you, and her at Mass tomorrow morning.  Glen

Scott, as you know, Ginny and I spend special time at our Church visiting the Blessed Sacrament. Yesterday I spent some time in thinking of you and your depated Mom. I came away feeling that you will be able to handle the loss by remembering that you and she will meet again.

Scott,
I am so sorry to hear you have lost your mom. My mother passed away last year about this time. Maybe they'll run into each other and talked about their crazy kids that always loved model airplanes. I know she will be watching over you as you have watched over her and made her last years so enjoyable because of the great son she had.

Right now I'm in the process of getting everyone’s projects out. I have about 15 to go. I have the time. I have the hart.
Mom will be placed to rest tomorrow morning. We had to wait because of the weather between Seattle and Portland. I-5 is closed. Family had to take the LONG way.

TO all of you THANK YOU SO MUCH
Scott Riese
