Texas - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - Our friends and family who are riders arrived via motorcycles and cages in Henrietta, Texas to honor the mother one of their own. About 15-17 Riders stood an honor line at the funeral of Sadie Davis (age 101), mother to Inez aka Nezzie, mother-in-law to Ted aka Frosty and grandmother to yours truly aka Vik.Some of the riders served as honorary pall bearers while others stood by in silent respect. At the end of services Nezzie was presented with a condolence plaque which I know she will cherish always.
Our biker family was a welcome and calming presence at the visitation on the evening of the 20th. A beautiful spray of flowers emblazoned with a bright yellow ribbon arrived earlier in the day. Grandma was not a veteran but she was the proud sister to four brothers who served silmultaneously in WWII. Four beloved brothers who all returned home safely from that conflict. What a presence - a simple outpouring of care and concern and support for one of their own - Nezzie.
We humbly thank our biker family for such a thoughtful expression of sympathy and friendship in our time of sorrow.

101...my that's a lot of history to live through! What stories she must have had to tell. You were lucky to have had her in your life for such a long time and I'm sure you will miss her dearly.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences on your loss of a beloved Grandmother, you were indeed lucky to have her in your life for so long, she must have been a wonderful person. I unfortunately grew up without grandparents because we emigrated from England to Rhodesia when I was 5 years old leaving all of them behind, so I never knew that special love that grandparents have.
