    This was on my way home. Road was completely blocked by emergency personal. Prayers to both families. They really should put those flash signs for bikers or walkers. Growth is too high for traffic to see people not paying attention to traffic.

    My neighbor. He was such a kind soul. Praying for his family and the driver of the motorcycle to be given peace and comfort by the Lord during this awful time. ♥️
