Todd, the reason for the C6 emblem is I have a good feeling this helmet will be around much longer than my present C5, if you know what I mean...

Great artwork and has already been said, what a wonderful tribute to your daughter, Linda. As the father of a beautiful 28-year old daughter, I can't even imagine what you've been through. God Bless you.

Hey Glenn. This a great tribute to your beautiful daughter. You can tell there was great care put into the artwork. We think of you often, I just wish we could get together more often. Dawn and I, along with Tracey and Ernie, talk about you often. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Linda is smiling right now and will be every time you put on the helmet. We'll talk to you soon, Stan

Great Tribute. Sorry we didn't get to see you this weekend. We were bummed out. Sunday was Brad's Birthday. He would have been 39. Everytime I walked by his photos I just about lost it. Still can't believe he's gone and the granddaughters are getting so big. We know what your feeling buddy. We went to the Street Rod show in York just to try to forget. Seems like he should call any minute now. Bummer. God Bless you my friend.

Jim & Janet

That's such a great way to always have Linda with you Glenn...

..Although, I'm positive, she's with you all the time anyway

It's a touching and fitting memorial..
