On behalf of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Comfort Tyler Chapter (Syracuse), we send our condolences to the family.
Forget Me Not
Don’t remember me not with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears,
Remember all the laughter,
We’ve shared throughout the years,
Now I am contented,
That my life it was worthwhile.
Knowing that I passed along the way,
I made somebody smile,
When you are walking down the street,
And you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps,
Only half a step behind,
So please don’t be unhappy,
Just because I’m out of sight,
Remember that I’m with you,
Each morning, noon, and night.
To the entire Rigdon family,
Please accept my sincere condolences to you for the loss of your mother and father. I have so many fond memories of talking with your Mom and Dad after our concerts. Together, they raised a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As a teacher in the LaFayette School District, my mother Jennie Sloper taught at least two of the Rigdon children. She always spoke so highly of both Mr. and Mrs. Rigdon and their devotion to their children. May many happy memories of life with them bring you all comfort as you mourn the passing of both your parents.

Once again in too short a time, we are very saddened to hear of this loss within the Rigdon family. Bob always had a smile and a nice word for everyone. I talked with him a couple of years ago when we met at the Post Office and he was so proud of telling me about all his grandchildren. It seems the most comforting thought now is that he and Inta are together again where they would want to be. May it help to know that we send our prayers and support for each of you as you deal with this sorrow.
