Grateful, Overwhelmed & Thankful
Dear IV HOG Friends,
A big and heartful thank you to our IV HOG Family. We were overwhelmed with the amount of cards, phone calls, visits and especially the generosity you’ve shown us.
It’s hard to explain the feelings that you get from such an outpouring of concern that was shown to us. It’s amazing how many times some of you have sincerely said “If there’s anything I can do for you, please call me”.
We’ve been on the giving end of support for “a biker down” but this is our first time on the receiving end.
But, if we’re not on the receiving end again, we won’t be disappointed!
Thanks IV HOG for all of your support.
