| Our Brother Hoppy March 25, 1954 - February 2, 2006 On our vacation this year, he posed after he saw the picture of the helmet. He faced life head-on. His last ride with us to The Tail of The Dragon, U.S. Rt. 129 Tennessee: The Outlanders hauled his bike so he could ride the dragon with us. God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around him And whispered, "Come with me" With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away, Although we love him dearly we could not make him stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. He fought to the end. And was a great friend. WE LOVE YOU & MISS YOU YOUR BROTHERS & SISTERS |
