((((Walt)))))

Walt, I am very sorry and we are thinking of you. No need to respond.

Dearest Walt,

I only "knew" you and Jane through the about.com forum and a little through this forum. Still, it was clear to me that jane was a special and kind spirit--someone who always stood out. I always enjoyed reading about your trips and the happenings at Maggie Valley.

Please know that you are in my prayers and that my heart is heavy thinking of you and your family's tremendous lost. May you find peace and joy in the memories...

Dear Walt,

I can not begin to tell you sir how profoundly sorry I am at your tragic loss. You are indeed a strong man. With all due respect,I would like to offer you a prayer I have offered only a few times. May the peace, love, and understanding that is the LORD OUR GOD, be with you, comfort you and abide with you, both now and forever more. Amen!

Walt:

Barbara and myself are saddened by your loss of Jane, There are no words that will fill the void left in all our hearts. Jane as you know was a special lady to  yourself and her family. Jane will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Walt and the Kern family.

We have ridden many miles with Walt and Jane. Most recently we rode to Orange County Choppers as a Group event. Although the weather was overcast and rain forecast was 60% chance of showers we all decided to go for the ride. Barb and I will have this memory with us as it was the last time for Jane and us to ride together. There were no strangers in Jane's eyes, only Friends she has not met yet.  No matter the weather or events of the day Jane was one to arrive with a smile and arms outreached for a hug.  Jane we are happy that we had the opportunity to meet and ride with Walt and yourself,  Rest in peace our friend.

Mack, I assure you, you are not disrespecting Janie or Walt -- and I don't think Scott would be offended, either.  Thank you for your words.

Beautifully said, dear friend.

Sammye

Thank you dear friend.

Walt:

Lynda and I just today got word of this tragic news and we were both stunned.  Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to you, to your sons and daughter and their families, and to your extended family that makes up this forum.

Janie will be missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing her.
