    In memory of Jenny Ewing

    Pedal Wench Thank you so much for posting that beautiful, moving video which left me with tears flowing down my face.....

    The song that accompanied the video was "The Prayer", which was very fitting. The beginning of the song:

    "I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
    And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
    Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
    Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
    To a place where we'll be safe"


    The Silver comet trail looked beautiful and safe -- it is so sad to know that such a violent attack could occur that ended Jenny's life .

    At the very end of the video, you could see the sun peeking through the trees....... When I saw that, I really felt that it was Jenny's spirit --- I believe that she was there .

    Originally posted by skibum Just before we reached the memorial site, I noticed a group of men standing by the side of the trail holding their bikes. I thought they had seen us coming and just got out of the way. Then I realized that they were holding their helmets over their hearts as we went by.
    It really was a beautiful tribute. It shows that most people are kind & thoughtful. As Lise stated,
    we're all in this together.

    I couldn't attend the ride, although I was nearby in Georgia. I had Jenny on my mind all day, though. I proudly wore her shirt to the expo for Six Gap. (And to a volunteer meeting for an upcoming Century, where a woman approached me to tell me her main reason for joining the club was to have someone to ride with, because she was afraid to ride alone.) At breakfast, at the Holiday Inn, there was a special report about Jenny and the ride on the morning news. I started crying, and couldn't stop. I felt so sad- for everything.

    That video could not have said it better. My co-worker heard the music (although I had it as low as I could) and came over to ask what it was and explained the story.

    Feelings of all of this cannot be put into words, but thank you Pedal Wrench and Cindyloo for sharing this with all of us.
