I just received this from Angie,,GSW,Greg's Widow ,who we lost last October. A few of us got some money together and sent their way at Christmas. I say a few,,there were a lot,,,but considering the amount of eyes that saw it,,a few. Angie is one incredible woman,Greg was a VERY lucky man to have her. She is very strong,and her and their son Mikey are hanging in there. So,,I,,,wish to Thank ALL of you who gave once again. And Billy /3ww for making it easier TO do it. You all should be very proud. Thanx Bill ..... This is her letter to you guys : )

Ok. Please post this, and thanks again.

Hello, everyone. My name is Angie Wills; I'm Greg's wife, and I just wanted to express my sincerest thanks for the donations made to honor him. I'm sure he would be astounded that so many pitched in to help us out after his death. He was a very giving man, always helping anyone in need, so I am truly thankful and honored to have some of those same expressions of empathy sent to Mikey and myself. We sincerely appreciate it.

I wanted to share with you what would be done with the money. Greg was in his last semester of motorcycle mechanics at Central Carolina Community College; his dream was to open up his own custom bike shop. About a month before his death, he asked me if I would contact CCCC and start a scholarship for the motorcycle program in his name. He said that would make him feel better because at least a part of him would be living on, and people would be thinking about him, and he also agreed that in some way he was helping others achieve the same dream that he had wanted so badly. So, there is a fund set up with CCCC. More info can be found here at http://www.cccc.edu/foundation/ There is actually an online form for giving with PayPal here (tax deductable) if any of you wish to give more or didn't give before and want to now. Just click on Give Now. A portion of the money you donated to us will be given to this scholarship fund because it was one of Greg's dying wishes. Your money will give me the ability to honor those wishes. The remainder will be used to help out with medical bills that are remaining.

Again, I'd like to offer a heartfelt thanks to all of you. May you be blessed and may time repay you for your kindness.

Angie

Man Im sure all these people couldn't say Thanks enough. While they might not be computer people and such even if they are as you said you dont do it for the thanks so why bring it up? This charity work is a Thankless job.

So from all the people that didnt thank you enough. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!!!!

Edited Id like to add I know a lot of rogers friends and I know not so many of his family but if there anything like Roger there the best people in the world and would do anything to help anyone. Get well soon Roger

Back to the original intent of this thread...

It's heartwarming that Angie took the time to send that letter or email. Not that I need any thanks, but that letter is MORE than sufficient! I'm just happy to have taken a part, (albeit small) in such a great act of generosity in association with 3WW..

And thanks again to you too Bill for heading up the effort. :beer

I don't know how many of you know a little Bible or not, no offense intended to anyone... But it does say that God wants us to comfort the dying and care for the widows.. By whatever name you call God, or even if you believe in Him or not, comforting the dying and caring for the widows is the right thing to do, and blessings/good karma will come your way in the end. :)

I don't even have a family, but if I did and I were to die and you guys helped with the bills and gave my family some help; I couldn't be more thankful. Imagine losing that person that loved and supported you both prior to and during your passing.

I'm glad I can give a donation when something happens; There was a time I couldn't give 1$.......

I'm sure allot of these people have other things to do rather than write thank you letters; I'm sure they are all thanking anyone that helped in their mind.

You simply cannot judge someone from there posts, you have to meet them in person. I have met some people I thought would be great to meet and all they did was boast about their belongings, others are more quiet and humble.

Your welcome ANGIE!! :beer

Hey X owner,,I GOT IT.. the 1st time,the 2nd time..You no longer need to follow me around posting garbage. You don't like me. That's great!! I couldn't be happier !!. Nor could I care less ! I did NOTHING to you. You don't like the perception of trikefest and I upset you. I don't care! You said your peace. I have ignored your other posts .And will continue to do so;). I wasn't whining,,I was simply saying this Lady took time to Thank us that give,and I thought that was pretty cool! Good luck with everything!

Meh, i forgot about that. While you did thank her for writing you a thank you. You also stuffed Sam and Rogers family under the bus. Thats what I took as a stab. I look forward to meeting you and asking you all kinds of questions, About 3wheelers and what ever else comes up.

THANKS AGAIN FOR DOING THIS!
