To short the ride
your life, the time
you never could
be restrained,


conditions defining
were not yours....

you lived life your way
right 'till the end
loved by so many
to all a friend....

You'll both be missed
I know that it's true
but I smile, knowing
the brothers and sisters
were all there

to welcome two

to Harley Heaven
for that eternal ride,

free at last
on highways of blue.

{cuz I remember the Triumph, the chopper, the rides...
in this heart, you will remain alive...
Ride on brother and sister, ride Riley RIDE....}


I was saddened to learn of the loss of
my favorite cousin and his wife’s death
as they were out riding..
and someone just didn't see them...


My words can not do their lives justice...

Steve and Cindy Riley, June 2006  R.I.P.

{Five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
five hundred twenty five thousand
moments to dear
five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
how do you measure - measure a year?

In daylights-in sunsets
in midnights-in cups of coffee
in inches- in miles
in laughter- in strife

In five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
how do you measure
the year in a life  }
{from Rent}

Oh Donna, this is so sad. Hugs to you.
But you have let them ride forever
with this fine tribute.

So terribly tragic and sad. I can feel your pain through your eloquent expression from your bleeding heart.

I am so sorry to hear of your cousin and his wife's passing. It is difficult losing a loved one, but the loss of two at one time is surely beyond unbearable. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

Losing someone you love is very difficult,
losing them so tragically and unexpectedly
makes it even more difficult to cope with
and understand....I hope that your spirit
will give you the strength to overcome this
loss at some point in your life...
