Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My sweet bride

My sweet bride lost her battle this morning. This is a picture of her with the little girl "Heather" who's life she changed. Nanette was an angel put here to make this a better world, and for this little girl and many others she did. I know I'm the luckiest man ever for having her in my life.

Sorry to hear of your loss, friend.

(My wife died of cancer in 2004--age 35. It's tough, and I feel for you.)

Truly sorry to hear of your loss. I almost lost my bride in a motorcycle wreck April 30, 2009. I have now learned to live life to the fullest and appreciate all that I have. By reading the few words you wrote I can tell that you were one of the lucky ones to meet someone special. Someone who touched the lives of all around her and for that you should rejoice.
Good luck to you my friend...
