My Loving Wife passed away early this morning

Thank you Magoofan,

There have been so many kind words from you guys that I've never met. The help for me of Love and SUPPORT as i have been struggling big time, has been truly amazing. 

But what is quoted in this reply is truly inspiring for me, and as I try to gather up words for Her Eulogy (I hope i have this strength to be able to get through it).😭

I just might use this as well.

Thank you......💔

Oh, you guys are REALLY great! 

I have shared this thread, along with the previous last vacation thread that went terribly awry with family and friends and a few of them have replied. They can't believe the LOVE and SUPPORT  that you guys have shown. 

Ken,

 I feel the same way "I never felt so close to guys I don't know".

But in a way I really do as we all I met here for the same reason, our passion for Dirtbikes and Motocross and that is a bond that cannot be broken. 

Thank you all so much. 🙏

Thank you, Bob I appreciate it and what you said is very true. Many countless times Jan was the only Woman there during our nonsense at the track that could be dusty and loud. Not to mention the trash-talk amongst us.

But she enjoyed every minute of it and wouldn't change it for anything.

One of the things amongst many that I'm going to miss most is:

In the later years when I stopped racing but would go trail riding:

 I'd be working on the bike the night before, loading the Van etc. And she always said, "Gary, I'm going to make you a special spaghetti dinner, so you have plenty of energy tomorrow and I want to get up early with you and make oatmeal, bacon and peanut butter toast."

 I would tell her "you don't need to do that I want you to sleep in" but she did anyway

After the ride was complete and I would be in the van taking off my gear, she always wanted to hear a phone call from me to make sure I was okay and call her when I was headed home as she knew, I liked to share a few brewskies with the boys and bs about the day.

When I arrived and opened the door there was always the fresh aroma of one of her delicious dinners. I'm gonna miss her so much.....

 The first time I go riding. I hope I can make it through that day without everything She did for me.....😭

The only girl raised amongst five brothers and the second oldest. I've often said many times "they toughened her up and made her resilient and loving and that was how she was able to put up with me so well". 😂

She always had her Beautiful SMILE 🙂 her whole Life. 

Danny had yet to be born in this picture, Christmas Eve.

Jan loved to fish and she once told me she entered a fly fishing contest in her adult years and was the only girl entered and she won and has the trophy to prove it. 😀

Jan loved motorcycles and riding on the back of mine with the countless trips we went on.

Riding up Hwy 1 was quite an adventure up to Pismo or Laguna Seca 🏁 Raceway in beautiful Monterey.

 She told me I was her "Personal Rocketship Driver". 🙂

She also told me a story how there was a local motorcycle shop and she went in and the guy let her take a test ride out in the field. She ended up crashing the bike and rolled it back to the guy and said, I'LL TAKE IT! 😂 it was a Hodaka trials bike and through the later years somehow, it disappeared amongst her brothers and nobody would ever fess up about it during the family gatherings. 🤔🤭

Jan is on the right.I'm not sure who is on the left.

Thanks for reading. I am truly heartbroken, not sure how I'm going to get through Life without her.

Thankfully my sister and brother-in-law drove down from the bay area and have been here since Saturday and along with Jan's Family have been going through stuff that would have been too painful for me to deal with. They've been so helpful. They leave Sunday  and I'm already dreading it. 😪

Thank you guys for reading and support, I love you all. 

If there are any local guys who would like to attend, I would love to see you.
