(25,098 posts)Loved that song! It came out my senior year in high school, and I named my first car 'Wildfire' after it! (But later I had to change its name to 'Backfire', because that's what it did mostly! a real clunker--my grandmother's 1966 Bel Air, with 160,000 miles on it when she gave it to me. That was at a time when it was miraculous that a car made it to 100K....)
I remember Riff somewhat vaguely--wish I had known her better. She seemed to be a terrific lady! May she RIP.

The song seemed to fit the Riff I knew. Glad it brought back good memories for you.

I didn't know her well, but we once had a fun and friendly rival football conversation about the Pats and the Jets here on DU.
May she rest in peace.

She was a wonderful person. May she rest in peace.

Did you know she was active in local wildlife rescue? She was an amazing person.

(72,300 posts)Her two sons are younger than I realized. Not out of high school yet.
Their friends have come together offering to help in any way they can.
DU just doesn't feel the same without her.
