Hovis made the local press earlier this week
We thought that some of you might like to see this - Hovis made the local rag earlier this week. Please note that some people might not find it an easy read:

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week
Brought a tear i must admit, i think his mums thoughts about every time he went out on his bike wondering if he would come back, mirrors all our loved ones feelings.
Its one thing we dont sometimes think about the worry we put our loved ones through every time we go for a ride. Phil |

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week
Very sad reading, it's always hard balancing the love of riding with the concerns of family members, to lose someone you love to something you don't understand the urge for must be horrible

I never knew he was a personal trainer / gym instructor, would explain his athletasism (sp?) Thoughts are with his Mum, family and friends, must of been tough doing that interview |

Thats very sad reading that, I hope our presence at his funeral was of some comfort to her, to show her what biking brought to his life aswell as the thrill.

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week
That`s so touching and a lovely read. I admire Mrs Furness immensely.... despite her grief she wants everyone to know how much she loved her son and how proud she was.

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week
How can I word this carefully ?
In a way I am thankful that he went instantly and that he appeared to be sleeping and didn`t look any other way . It would be even more heartbreaking to know that she had to see him one last time in any other condition than that , heartbreaking as this has been for everyone . That last little bit of info there has taken any sort of .............. well , thoughts I had about it and has cleared it up for me , it`s upset me again for sure , upsetting that Joyce had to see her little lad Sleeping for the last time . Aah I gotta go .............. |
