Senior Ride Captain and very good friend. Ron was in charge of a mission
on Monday for a fellow Veteran when his mom passed away. I know you all
join me in expressing condolences and sympathies to Ron and the rest of his

that allows us to do a formal mission on her behalf, Ron has been a long time leader
in the PGR locally and a good friend to all of the riders and we have done
missions for his dad and his brother at the times of their passing. I
know that many would like to attend the services for Mrs. Mitchell and pay
their respects and to help honor her as well. In addition, she will be
buried at DFW National Cemetery alongside her husband. It is my opinion
that if motorcycles and some flags were to happen to stop by at the funeral and
at the interment ceremony, and that if some friends of the family joining in
the procession just happened to be riding motorcycles – nobody would say
anything. These things just happen, you know?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
