It is with deep sadness I am here. My good friend and fellow firefighter lost his wife in a motorcycle accident Friday. We were a close group and all our wives would hang out and we would all go ride on the weekend. She nicked a curb at 35MPH while turning and was thrown from the bike and broke her neck when she hit the pavement. My poor brother james was riding next to her on his bike and worked his wife for 10min before FD arrived. I can't begin to imagine how horrible that must have been. Rachel was a cool woman and loved riding offroad, horses, motorcycles, and shooting. She even shot her first suppressed gun in my backyard. A USP45 with Osprey45, she was so excited. She was licensed to carry and had her Sig P232 on her that night. She loved that gun.
I want to get some scroll work and her name on the slide. Its a stainless P232. Does anyone here know the best place to send it? I've never gotten any type of scroll work done. I highly appreciate it.
On another note, James is going through the stages right now....we will get him through this. He has 100's of fellow FF's to lean on. We have been with him every step of the way. Hes a lucky man to have shared a marriage with that woman. I really want this scroll work to turn out classy as hes going to carry her gun everyday.
Sorry if im rambling, my head is all over the place right now. We lay her to rest tomorrow.
