Riley was born on October 24, 2000, to her loving parents, Jeff Lentz and Melissa Saban and big brother, Jacob, who affectionally called her "Lolly". Riley was a vivacious little girl who loved her family, loved animals, and loved to laugh. Riley became a fierce warrior when at the age of 7 she was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Every day for 11 years, Riley fought with a strength and determination that inspired others. She never complained, never quit; she smiled, laughed, and was full of joy. Riley was a light in this world spreading her love and grace to everyone around her.
