Our family was blessed by Gayle and her family.  They took us into their home as familly not guests when we were stationed in the military far from home.  We will always have those memories.  Like Gayle, John lost his parents to cancer...  We hope to help in finding a cure.

God saw you were getting tired,
     And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arm around you
          and whispered...
Time to come home to me.

With tearfilled eyes we watched,
     As you quitely passed away.
And although we loved you dearly,
     We could not make you stay.

A Golden Heart stopped beating,
     Hard working hands at rest.
The Good Lord broke our hearts that day,
     To prove he only takes The Best.

My mother was a very special person not only to me and my family but to all those who knew her.  I am in hopes that all who visit this site, will help honor my mother wishes with either joining the ride or making a donation to the Gayle Sheldon Memorial Fund (tax deductable) to help not only find a cure, but to make the public aware of this silent and deadly type of cancer.  My mother may be gone for this earth but she is with us in spirit and is proud for all who take part in the cause.

My Mom was a very special person. She loved life, her family. Mom took care of many family members that where either sick or need a place to live. Mom never complained. She alway made me feel special, I greatly miss her. I hope with the start of this annual ride we can find a cure for gbm.
