Prayers for the family and friends of this young man. Please watch out for motorcycles. Just take a second look.
My sincere condolences to Cameron Burke’s family. Having lost my son when he was 24, I know well their agony.
“Look Twice For Motorcycles” decals, distributed, I think by ABATE, an organization of motorcyclists focused on rider safety, are seen everywhere. The leading cause, nationally, of motorcycle fatalities is a car or truck turning into the right-of-way of a motorcycle — usually making a left turn across oncoming traffic.
Drivers: please, please, be aware that two or three seconds of carelessness on your part can take a life, or two lives, and visit heartache on others that will never go away.
my heart goes out to this young mans family. It is a hard thing to lose a son this young. I lost my son March 8th 2014 in the same manner. My prayers are with all involved, especially the friends and family of Cameron.
