Bianca Tiller, who roomed with Riley during their freshman year at UGA, said, "She was the sweetest, most pure-hearted young woman" who "brought so many people together and developed so many friendships."
"I came into UGA knowing less than a handful of people and she brought me into her friend group, never let me feel left out," Tiller said about Riley. "She made everyone smile and and is such a kind soul."
"The great thing about Laken, everyone she met could instantly tell what a great heart she was," Tiller added.
Tiller said her former roommate loved to run and kept track of her runs on her Apple Watch. Riley always shared her phone’s location with her friends, Tiller said.
Lilly Steiner, another friend from UGA, thanked Riley in a tribute posted Saturday on Instagram for "helping me find the joy in life."
"You put everyone before yourself everyday, and you loved like no one else," Sofia Magana, one of Riley's roommates at UGA, said on Instagram.
"You were supposed to be by my side on my wedding day, you were supposed to be with us on graduation ... but most importantly you were supposed to be here with us," Magana wrote.
Sophia Palomino said in a tribute post that Riley "taught me so many lessons about life, friendship & sisterhood" and said "her love has changed me for the better." She added that she admired how Riley was always putting others before herself.
Connolly Huth, who also lived with Riley, recalled their shared memories and said she and Riley were supposed to run their first marathon together.
"I will run that 26.2 in your honor and let everyone know of the perfect, beautiful, hilarious, smart, kind, and driven human that Laken Riley was," Huth wrote in an Instagram post.
