| Friday night I had said goodbye to my friend Ken and his girl Jeri not realizing it would be the last time I would speak to him........ Ken had just gone over a set of RR tracks and down a small hill, while waiting for the light to change they were rear ended by a car doing 100+ mph, unfortunately the hill blocked his view of what was coming....... The driver kept going and was caught later..........
Ken is brain dead and on life support awaiting organ harvesting, Jeri is on life support and may not survive either. Please pray for their families.......
Here is the news report,

New Bohemia, VA | Crispin, prayers for Ken and Jeri in hopes of recovery. I know a man who they had in the morgue following a motorcycle accident and the doctor recheck him for some strange reason. 30 years later the man has had a full productive life, though he's never rode since. Hope upon hope. The driver should get .... |

| My condolences to you and the family. Extremely painful to lose friends and especially under such careless circumstances makes it even harder. 100+ MPH....what should the punishment be for that? The judge should all be a biker! I'll keep you and the family in my prayers. |

Is there an update on Jen?
Unfortunately Jeri died from her injuries on May 7, sad thing is that she was showing improvement, was responding to voices and other stimuli, then took a turn she was unable to come back from. Sorry for leaving this post unfinished. |

Rumor has it they're going to give him the max if (when) convicted which unfortunately still won't be enough. |

| Final update: the driver of the vehicle pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 18 yrs. On good behavior, he'll probably be out in less than 9. |
