    Our prayers and thoughs go out to all of of our fallen brothers and sisters in the tragic accident that occured in Phoenix Arizona on March 25.  

    We pray for the families of the four persons who lost their lives - 67-year-old Clyde R. Nachand, 35-year-old Daniel L. Butler, 52-year-old Stephen Punch, and 47-year-old Dayle Veronica Downs-Totonchi.

    We also pray for the recovery of the others who were injured in this terrible accident.




    (Although I shouldn't have to say this, please remember this area is only for our prayers and thoughts for those who suffer.)

    Agreed Lucky
    They are in my thoughts!

    Amen

    I'm going to try and upload a video tribute to Dayle. It was made by one of our members Laura. It's a very touching video that will probably make you misty as it did me. We are asking that all riders from everywhere tie a black bandana to their left front forks as a tribute and memorial for our fallen brother and sister bikers.

    Thanks,

    Can you feel the wind in Heaven
    Can you hear me call your name
    Can you see the tears that fall
    This world won't ever be the same


    Can you feel the wind in Heaven
    When we gather in our group
    Can you hear the sound of silence
    When we look where you once stood.


    Can you feel the wind in Heaven
    Can you hear the ladies cry
    Can you feel our broken hearts
    When we have to say goodbye


    Can you feel the wind in Heaven
    While the men hold back the tears
    Leather clad and watery eyes
    And know we’d rather have you here


    I hope there is a Biker Heaven
    And we will meet again someday
    I hope to feel the wind in Heaven
    And shake your hand again that day

    In our hearts and prayers... for the fallen and their friends and families, for the injured and their friends and families, for those on the scene to lend aid, and for those who witnessed this tragedy. Four lives have ended and dozens have been changed forever. Our prayers go out to you all.

    I like the symbolism of the black bandana on the left fork. I will be adding mine to my bike when I get home tonight to honor the memory of these riders!

    May those who are suffering through this great loss truly feel how much they are loved and know that our hearts ache for them and at the loss of our brothers and sister. May they find their way to peace as these beautiful souls may continue on with the wind.

    Praying for all those who are still battling to heal and carry on. God's Blessing to all.

    Death leaves a heartache,
    No man can heal.
    But love leaves a memory,
    No man can steal.

    May they rest forever, alive in a memory .

    My throughts and prayers go out to the families of the fallen and injured. There are few Brotherhoods in our society like ours, when our own hurt we all hurt, when we loose members of our Brotherhood we all feel the loss as well. We understand life is a short trip, and we know it's important to live our lives to the fullest.
    May each and every CF Brother and Sister out there be watched closely by there Angel's.
