Default lost two dear friends

i just found out today that two of the most sweetest people i knew was killed sunday afternoon coming from street vibrations on there trike. ma and lefty were coming home from street vibrations on sunday when she lost control and went down an embankment by ham station. both died on scene. this couple was the pefect example of a loving relationship. lefty was leagaly blind so him and ma bought a trike and she rode him on the back. and this couple had been every where on that trike. they met in there teens and started riding triumps. then they went to harleys and that was it they had panheads shovel heads u name it. they were in there 80"s when they passed it was a honer to have known them and to have rode with them. they knew alot of people and everyone loved them. ma was sick for a year with the croup but it didnt stop her from riding had either one of them lived the other wouldnt of lasted to long cuz one of them would have died from a broken heart. i will miss them very much and i will also miss ma"s little red head and leftys grey ponytail and beard. R.I.P.
U 2 LOVE BIRDS.
Rick

Sad, but not to sound grim it's actually good that they died together and appeared to have lived a long life. It's also good that they didn't suffer from some long terminal illness and that they were killed instead.

Sad, but loving story. Sorry for your loss. I couldn't think of another way that I would want to go; doing what you loved, with the one you love.
