Many people live like they are getting our of here alive. Life is for living and I am happy that you lived it to the fullest. I just realized yesterday that you had to join something where you would have brothers because God gave you 3 crazy sisters (me, Tra and Ali)! Well, that and the fact that it's in your blood. We love you and will never stop missing you. See you when we get there.

While sitting in my back yard last night, I kept hearing the unmistakable sound of Harley Davidson's. I quickly became aware that this was due to a visitation taking place at the funeral home behind my home. I couldn't help to notice just how many people riding Harley Davidson's visited the funeral home last night. I remembered reading the news of a local man who died in a motorcycle crash and I put two and two together. I said to my husband "Wow, that man had a lot of friends". So although I do not know your family, I wanted to give my condolences and tell you that even those who did not know your loved one, could see that he was loved by many!
