(For those of you who don't know the story.....our son, Willie, was a member of the 1150 Riders, a very informal group of people who love to ride motorcycles. They were his very best and closest friends. Willie was killed in a motorcycle accident on June 9, 2007 just 4 days after his 28th birthday. He was married and had a little girl, Tylie. Tylie was 2 in August after Willie was killed. His motorcycle buddies wanted so badly to do something, ANYthing, for us after Willie died. They got together and decided to raise some money to put toward Tylie's college education. They were hoping to raise a couple thousand dollars. They raised over $5,800 and started her college fund with that. At that time, they said they were going to do some sort of fund raiser every summer until she went to college. These friends of Willie's worked tirelessly to make that weekend a success. And it was a HUGE success. We have thanked them over and over and it still isn't enough. We are going to make sure that Tylie always knows what they have done for her and, more importantly, WHY they have done it. It is the way that Willie's friends are demonstrating their great love for him. I've put this picture on here before, but I'm going to do it again. These folks deserve all the recognition that I can give them. God bless them all.)
