A Final Farewell

[my miss storm cat]

Give sorrow words;
the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart
and bids it break.
~ William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act IV, Scene III

I'll preface this by saying for those of you who hate this kind of thing? Please just try to understand that for some of us, this is how we deal with this beautiful yet brutal sport that we all love. Some of us need to pay a small tribute and say goodbye as that's all we can really do.

Goodbye to those we've lost this year. This list is incomplete - it's all I can do in one sitting - so please feel free to add anyone I've left off and I apologize for anyone who should be here and is not.

The names are in no particular order as they were all important, they all mattered, and they've all left holes in the hearts of their connections and their fans and the racing world.

Farewell.....

When you are sorrowful
look into your heart
and you shall see that
you are weeping
for that which has been
your delight
~ Kahlil Gibran

Run in peace.
