POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Riley Martinez Halderman
4.25.2007 – 09.11.2026 🐾

Today we said goodbye to the most amazing dog, Riley. Our RiRi, Riggles, RiMan.

Nineteen years of loving you—and receiving the purest, most unconditional love in return.

You came into this world on a day we don’t really know, but the day Uncle Stevie found you tied up, it was clear you were meant to become part of our family.

Your girls were so young then. They painted your nails, dressed you up, had tea parties with you, and snuggled with you in bed every night. And you loved your girls fiercely. You always made sure everyone knew they were yours.

You would howl and sing with all of us.

You loved to wander—and sometimes your adventures lasted months. You never turned down a good bone, a piece of pizza, or even a fully dressed plate of Thanksgiving dinner.

You were the best cuddler. Even as you got older, you still wanted to be picked up and held like a baby.

And getting to care for you during your senior years was one of the greatest gifts we could have ever received.

Nineteen years somehow still wasn’t enough.

We love you so very much, RiMan. We hope doggie heaven is exactly the way we dream it is—full of bones, pizza, endless adventures, cozy places to sleep, and all the love you could ever want. Mamaw was waiting on you, we just know it.

Rest easy, sweet boy. You were so deeply loved, and you always will be. ❤️

RIP RiMan. 🐾

All smiles as she begins her journey at Longwood University! Left her headed off to dinner with her roommate and suite mate. She’s going to thrive so much here and can’t wait for her to experience all of the Longwood traditions over the years.
She’s much closer to home and going to the beach with us Labor Day weekend so this was just see you later. 👋 Love you Jess, be the amazing you! 💙🤍

Today is the day we celebrate you and all that you’ve accomplished. You girls make me and our entire family so incredibly proud. While I’m sure we all will shed some tears closing this chapter, I can’t tell you how excited I am for your next.
You’ve worked so hard for this. We’ve worked so hard for this. Enjoy these celebrations, you’ve done it, with honors. I couldn’t be more proud of you. 🧡💙
Thank you to the Manchester community and teachers for welcoming us with such open arms. The teachers have been stellar, the friends we’ve made are lifelong and the memories we will carry always.

Senior Band Concert 🧡💙
Another exceptional concert by the @mhslancerbands
Our girl was awarded the John Philip Sousa Band Award. The most prestigious award in high school band given to one graduating senior per year. She’s incredible and her smile last night 🥹🥹
I can’t post her solo due to copyright, but it was impressive! So quick and bouncy! I loved it! I added a professional recording of it to the post (not her but it’s what she performed)
I also learned its etiquette for the family of the soloist to present them with flowers during their applause. No way I was missing that opportunity to show her how much our entire family loves her. Thanks Granny for the beautiful flower bouquet. 💐💗
