In Memorium

Tonight we number many but ride as one
In honor of those not with us, friends, mothers, fathers, sisters, sons
With helmets on tight and heads down low,
We ride in silence, cautious and slow
The wheels start spinning in the lead pack
But tonight we ride and no one attacks
The dark sunglasses cover our tears
Remembering those we held so dear
Tonight's ride is to make others aware
The road is there for all to share
To those not with us or by our side,
May God be your partner on your final ride.

On May 21, around the world, we will pay tribute to bicyclists

who have been injured or killed while riding.

It's called the "Ride Of Silence".

I invite you to pay tribute to those gone, but not forgotten -

and to remember them when you're driving and see someone on two wheels.

As a wife and a mother, neighbor and friend

Thank you.

Since ”For Kelli" was held on January 16, 2006 we have continually received requests on how people can assist with the ongoing medical expenses associated with treatment of Kelli's End Stage Renal Disease through dialysis and hopefully, transplant.

Your prayers mean more to us than anything else, but appreciate that some may want to assist in a more tangible way. If you would like to make a donation, simply click on the button above and you will be redirected to Paypal. A printable receipt will be made available.

We thank you for all the support you have given us as a family, in so many ways.
