Yesterday
We had so many lovely memories of riding our Harley-Davidson bikes together and frequently eating out at various places throughout Maine and Vermont. We were honored when you would join us for Patriot Guard Missions to honor our Fallen Veterans. You left us way too soon Nelson. You will be missed. May your family and friends cherish and hold close the memories. Pat and Gary Herbert
