In Memory of
In our lives we have many wonderful opportunities. We all have the opportunity to gain an education, to travel, to work, to play. We may stay single or take a spouse. We might have children or pets, both or neither. Nothing has a greater impact on us than the friends we make and decide to share a small or large part of our lives with. It is to the friends we have lost that the Southern Cruisers Riding Club dedicates this page. Let us always remember the smiles, laughter, jokes, handshakes, bear hugs or just the warm feelings we have shared while with these friends. May they always watch over us ever reminding us that our tomorrow might not come and we will soon be with them again. We are grateful for the time that all of our fallen members did spend with us and we know that they are joining so many wonderful members who are forming a new chapter with the finest riding roads, greatest weather and the Best 1st Officer any chapter could have.
