The Brian K. Riley Memorial Picture Gallery, page 2 |
September 23, 1998 - Memorial Service & Garden Dedication
at Bradley Hospital, East Providence, RI.
On
Wednesday, September 23, 1998, the staff and
administration of Bradley Hospital held a
Memorial Service & Garden Dedication in
Brian's honor. The ceremony started at 1pm, and
lasted for nearly 3 hours. Brian's friends and
relatives were invited, along with many staff who
were fortunate to have worked with Brian. I know
I speak for many when I say the event was very
instrumental in dealing with Brian's passing,
allowing all of us to exchange our feelings and
memories. Many thanks to Bradley Hospital's staff
and administration.
