Oh Annie, how Richard loves you so much. You two made me believe in love at first sight! Remember how cute and nervous he was when you boldly went over and helped him with a riding jacket? The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger as you made sure that the coat was a good fit for him. He was putty in your hands! I remember your wedding day. You looked beautiful. You were glowing with happiness. The last time he came in to Salt Lake Harley-Davidson, he talked about how much he loves you and how good you are to him, taking care of him. I know how that is as I have also loved someone through cancer. Love never dies and love will never be a 'was', it is always an 'is'. God bless you all and may His love carry you all through this very difficult time.
Michelle Jones and your Harley-Davidson family.
