I'm very sorry to hear this.

You and Don will be in our prayers.

LadyDraco · Thu 28, Sep 2023, 07:16:44

He crossed over last night .
He is no longer in pain...

Oss · Thu 28, Sep 2023, 08:20:18

So sorry to hear of your great loss.

Don taught me a whole lot and I will never forget how he would make fun of my lack of mechanical
common sense and then you would help (actually you took pity on me after an hour and
ended up) doing that rear spline servce at the ranch when I stopped by on my way somewhere or other

I have not gotten much better but I curse a bit less now

And who can forget his "10 things I learned on the blue grey, kentucky or whatever rides"

You folks had one of the best "how we met and got together " stories of any couple I know.

Rest in peace my friend and may his memory always be a blessing to all who knew him I will have some single malt in his honor later tonight

hubcapsc · Thu 28, Sep 2023, 08:52:50

I think of y'all often... I know you'll miss him so much...
he was a real cowboy.

Sad to read about your loss.

3fan4life · Thu 28, Sep 2023, 12:02:11

Looking through some old pictures I found this one of Don.

It's from the Hillbilly Ride where we raised money for the school in Pocahontas, VA.

Don was definitely one of the "Good" guys!

Tracy you and your family are in our prayers.

Please let us know what the arrangements are.

I'm sure that there are those here that would want to attend.

Tracy, this loss is troubling for us all...as is the case with all those that leave us. At various events I had the chance to chat with him a number of times, a fine man that will be missed by all of us that knew him. Prayers for you and family.

Tracy, We are so sorry to hear this. Several of us were talking about you and Don in Sparta a couple weeks ago. One of my most memorable rides was with Don, Joe, Gordan, Charlie Mac, and Big Eric on the Hillbilly scouting ride in Franklin Wv. in February 2011. Keith and Jane.

Ratdog · Fri 29, Sep 2023, 09:40:01

As Keith said we was talking about you and Don at The Meet In The Middle Ride in Sparta,NC we was wondering how y'all was doing. Always enjoyed riding and hanging out with you folks. Wishing you the best Tracy.

LadyDraco · Fri 29, Sep 2023, 18:14:48

Thank You all , doing it all alone was a very rough go..

Today was semi hard day.
Had to go to the FP. And drop off the things I wanted cremated with him.
I did get to see his shell one last time. Did my thing with tobacco prayers ,smudge him .
And so on...

he never wanted anyone to know what was going on .

Maybe I'll tell about it soon.. Or not ...

da prez · Fri 29, Sep 2023, 18:47:21

My deepest deepest sympathy. Just loosing my wife and you loosing your husband. So sorry.

Very sorry to hear this news, my best to you. The Lord is taking many good ones to be with him now.

LadyDraco · Fri 06, Oct 2023, 20:24:11

Thank You all ...
It has now been a week since Don crossed over.

He did not want anyone to know that he was ill.
That was his wish.
Picked Don's ashes up on Wednesday.
I was truly blessed to have our dear mate go with me ..
And had helped me get the farm ready for winter.
A few more mates are going to help me some more.

Thank You for the cards, and gifts.
You have no idea how much that will help out.
Life is going to be very hard.. With winter coming .

Thunderbolt · Sun 08, Oct 2023, 05:58:45

Tracy we remember the good times. My wife Iris and I met you and Don at a Chinese buffet on I-77 when we were staying in Hillsville Va. many years ago. We rode South toward Mt. Airy and stopped at a greenhouse where you wanted to make a purchase of some sort. I couldn't keep up with either of you. So sorry for your loss.
