Lost my Brother Mike

Sad times in my house.
My Brother Mike passed this past Thursday
He was doing what he loved , riding his motorcycle.
Every Thursday morning he would meet up with a group and go for a ride.
While riding along the corn lined country roads with friends he had a heart attack.
A rider behind him observed Mike slow down to 30 mph  , wobble , and just fell off his bike. 
He passed before hitting the ground 
I miss him and always will.
He went out doing what he loved 
Ride with the Angels MIke
Love you Bro
Dave

That's a Tough one Dave, Sorry to hear. Just goes to show how fleeting life is and often just taken for granted until a calamitous event like this happens. I have No problem telling my family and buddies i Love them whenever i see them. Not even alcohol induced either, just because we Never Know what tomorrow will bring. Was that photo the funeral procession?
