Happy Birthday River! You truely are inspirational. You were a musical genius aswell as a brilliant actor. I will always remember you. R.I.P <3 xxx

Happy Birthday River. I love you, and I miss you. I hope you are having a great time in Heaven. I really miss you. Happy Birthday beautiful! :( R.I.P. <3

I wish the two of us could have shared the weight of the world. I wish our thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears could have melted together . I miss your being.

Wish you were still here to celebrate with us!

An artistic relic and a beautiful creation. Forty years old already! I don't want to mingle on the subject of death on such an occasion, but I was born seven months after River's death, and so he's always been but a 'memory' to me, and always twenty-three: Forty is a fabulous age, but it's nice to think that River shall be forever young as a fantastic, inspiring memory; and his life has been such a strong inspiration to my own. I can't thank him enough for being who he was and doing what he did. He deserves the best ever birthday and I think it's great that fans like us are celebrating like this and keeping him in people's minds. ...40 years - I can't believe it!

I want to say that I want to be with you in changing the world to make it a better place, you are there and will always stay in my heart. Happy Birthday, good things will never end.

River - Happy 40th Birthday! I miss you and I love you. Because of you I changed my way of life and got more carefullness of all living beings, I love hugging trees now. So I hope your soul rest in peace forever, and have a great Birthday, however that might looks in heaven. :D Kisses, Mel ;)

Happy 40th Rio! We Love and miss you. *Rest In Peace*

Happy Birthday beautiful River wherever you may be!! Age is just a detail, but this day marks the day you were born, you were a special soul, charismatic and talented. I wish you had not gone, but i keep you alive with your movies, music and message. I wish I had met you, maybe someday. So all my love and best wishes to you Riv, Stand By Me forever!! God Bless You!!!

Happy 40th Birthday River. xx
