For the old timers here my wife Kat died Sunday

Post by ShinyPartsUp »

My wife Kat and I enjoyed WFO, Ruben runs, Western Canada meet and many others. Many great friends made. El Jefe and his son stayed here a couple times. As she was failing we reviewed some of our best memories together and several FJR trips were among them. She passed away after a long illness Sunday July 23rd.

Oh Michael, I'm so sorry to see this news. She was a really wonderful woman and I know how much you and your family will miss her. Sending you lots of healing love and condolences to all who loved her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Vancouver Island and she tried to get us out of the rain while waiting for the ferry. Godspeed.
