It breaks my heart to hear of your passing! We didn´t speak often but when we did it was like we didn´t skip a beat. I will always hold dear to my heart the many rides we took and the special one to Rolling Thunder where I earned my name Smart A** Brown Girl named Matilda! Lol because you couldn´t pronounce my name! To this day I have those too patches on my riders jacket and will NEVER forget you! Much Love. Gone but will NEVER be forgotten!
