Anyone From The Houston Area?

Two weekends ago a terrible tragedy happened within my husband's motorcycle group. Here is what one member from his group has written about it.

"The couple died instantly on Saturday, 13 June 2009 at approximately 0815 in Austin, Texas. They were both 23 years old. A group of us went to Austin on Friday to celebrate at the Republic of Texas (ROT) Rally. We went out as a group Friday night for dinner. We talked and laughed and celebrated our life and our love for riding. On Saturday morning the group left for an early morning ride through the hill country. Everyone arrived at the end of the route except Eric and Rosse. They were found a short distance back. They did not make it through a curve and they both died at impact. Eric and Rosse leave behind two small children, Johnny (3) and Gina (1).

Rosse was a beautiful girl, a loving wife and mother and she enjoyed spending time with Eric on his motorcycle. Eric was very friendly and generous and often someone’s designated driver, not only because he didn’t drink alcohol but because he truly cared about his friends. At the HoustonGixxer’s one year anniversary, 25May2009, Eric was presented an award “HG For Life” because of his dedication to the group."

This has been a terribly sad time for everyone involved in this group and the parents of both Eric and Rosse. If anyone is from the Houston area we are having two benefits this weekend. On Saturday the group will be hosting a rummage sale and on Sunday a bbq plate sale. If you are unable attend and would like to help there is a paypal account set up for the children.
