Last Night's Service

[Brett]

Last night was very hard for many of us to even walk in the door and face the fact that Val is gone, But I must say it was amazing to see how many people came out to pay thier respect's last night. I saw people come out last night that we havent seen in up to a year ago.

I for one wasnt sure how to act last night but we all came together and showed Tray and her family how much we all loved her and that Im sure made all the difference last night.

Saying good bye to her was very hard that is for sure.

Its nice to know that even though IA is a website, that we are still closely knit.

Its amazing that one person could touch so many people also. I only met her twice so I cant imagine how the people who were actually very close to her must feel

[Brett]

Yeah she was one of a kind, I can vouch for that

Yes last night was tough. I was standing by the entrance for the longest time just trying to hold back emotions for a bit, then I finally went and gave Tray a big hug, then came the water works.

The funeral today was sad as well. Lots of people showed up. I walked in a bit late, but it was a nice service. Afterwards, Val's family invited everybody over for food and talk, and that was real nice too.

Nice seeing everybody!

Despite the mood of last night it was still good to see smiles and laughter. I haven't seen some of you in forever and it was a good feeling. Hopefully i see you all at import showdown

Last night was an emotional night for all of us as was the service today.. It still is so surreal.. and I miss her already. Tray, you amaze me at how strong you have been through all of this.. just know we all love you and are there for you and are here if you need anything...

Yeah I was okay until I gave Tray a hug then started watching the computer slide show, and when I saw a pic of her in the EVO with a helmet on with her hand up, I got teary eyed, thats when it hit me that we would never see her again :(

I think everyone I talked to like me kind of expected to get there and Val just jump out and say "You stupid fuckers, I got you good" lol. Thats what we were hoping for atleast

I was smart, I grabbed a box of tissue as I walked in the door.... man that stuff tore me up!

I didn't know her, but I met Tray several times, felt I needed to come. The support was definitely there........she will be missed

[ahmonrah]

couldnt do it.....i made the ride up 400...and though i passed the home i couldnt go in. i was tellin myself to just pull in and but i couldnt turn right.
i've buried more people in the past 2 years than ever in my life.

It was a great feeling among the sadness of the event. I was elated at seeing the size of the crowd that came to support Tray and family in this time. Later, QD.

[Brett]

Yeah there was a ton of people, Im sure her family was thrilled that she had so many friends :)
