Come out on Saturday morning, August 6th, to run or walk in honor of Tracey Kleinpell, the cyclist who was killed on the Sanibel bridge on May 7th.

I feel sorry for that cyclist who was killed on the Sanibel bridge on May 7th. May his soul peace in heaven...
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad and a great loss indeed to all of us who have had contact with him. Gallieno was a very pleasant and accommodating personality. May the LORD comfort his family!
ReplyDeleteI was sadden by this story as well. We need a barrier dividing the bridge and rumbles, I think that's what they are called. I like the white bike. To the Family and Friends, I'm really Sorry for your loss! I loss my 15 year old son last year, Cameron Ford, he was hit by a teenage driver on Tralfalgar Rd. So, I know exactly how it feels!
