Ride on little racer, ride on! You left your mark on alot of people in your short time here with us.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
...And until we meet again.
May God hold you, May God hold you
Ever in the palm of his hand.

I saw the news and all the painful memories from the loss of my friends son came pouring back. Terrible. Unimaginable as a parent; the loss of a child. At least he was doing something he loved. I hope this fact gives you some peace. I'm very, very sorry for your loss.
