Were is Martha Jane Walters, my sister was his wife.

You pop up in my mind at the most unusual times and I cherish my memories of you. I´m certain you were the first to welcome my brother to the other side. He loved you so. "Ride hard, die free."

I miss you every single day. You touched my life in so many ways. Although it's been a while now you are still missed.

Daddy, Its been almost a year since you passed. Losing both you and Mom in the past year has left me empty. Ive been designing memorial tats for me to get for you both. It still hurts knowing I cant just pick up the phone to hear your voice. But I hope youre proud that your blood flows on through me,Tab and Eric, Eric will be sworn into the Army next week! Can You believe that? I want you to know youll never be forgotten...I will make sure of that. I love you Daddy....I hope you are resting...

Hey, Jim went this morning to get the orginal personalized tag to put back on the black angel that Doug rides now in your memory. He rides it with alot of pride and your memory is always with us. Went to Thunder last Friday night and requested Pat to sing the song she sang for you. Pat made an announcement in memory of you before she began singing it was from the heart, I cried through the whole song, but hell that's okay right? We love and miss you everyday! Talked to Sherrie the other day...
