In Memory

Regina (left) and I grew up together and were inseparable. Where you'd see one of us, you'd see the other. We were best friends for many years, sharing with each other our hopes and dreams of the future.
A solo rider who had great love and pride for her family, Regina touched the hearts of all who knew her.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Fallen Brother
"Live to ride, ride to live", we speak these words with pride,
The open road is calling and we cannot resist the ride.
We're all aware of the peril that may be waiting over the next hill,
But that's the risk we're willing to take, so ride we will.
Only a biker can understand the kind of feeling it can be,
To have the wind in your face, to ride, to just be free.
But now tragedy has struck and we have lost someone that's dear,
Still the memories we will cherish and will always have them near.
Yes, we will mourn our loss and tears we will shed,
And think of all the words that we wish we had said.
We will often ask ourselves and wonder for many a day,
Why this wonderful person had to die in such a tragic way.
Now only time can heal the pain that we feel,
But forever in our hearts, he will remain with us still.
And just remember as these agonizing times pass by,
We will see him again in that Harley Heaven in the sky.
