Sad day for the Ohio River Rat Pack of Western Ky. |
|
Friday ,Dec. 28 th... Krista Gettys of Nashville,Tenn (formally of Central City,KY... Passed |
|
away to day after a long battle with brain cancer. |
|
Krista was 43 years old and was married to Cowboy (Wayne Gettys) on June 24 th this year |
|
She became a Rat at the Sturgis Bike Rally of this year also.. |
|
Krista Gettys will be missed by her friends and by all The Rats |
|
TO KRISTA |
|
The weekend that the Rats had a Little Sturgis Rally 2001. |
|
It started on a Wed. night at the line party, the beer was flowing pretty good and the people were |
|
starting to get right...A friend of mine (Tooter) from Tenn. came to me and ask if the Rats would |
|
help her out on this weekend.. Well ya know how a bunch of Rats can be... We said ...........Yes! |
|
Seems that Tooter has a cousin that was real sick... She has terminal brain cancer.... |
|
This cousin of Tooter's was named Krista and one of her last wishes was to be at The Little |
|
Sturgis rally rally this year, because she didn't know if she was gonna be able to make it back next |
|
year.... Well , I guess you have figured this story out by now.......Tooter ask the Rats to show |
|
Krista a good time at this rally..........And we DID ! |
|
From TV interviews to trike rides, dances and just partying.. All in all, we think she had a good |
|
time.....I know the Rats did... |
|
Krista was trying to fill her life with all the best since she was diagnosed with terminal brain |
|
cancer on or around May 30th... She married her long time boyfriend (Cowboy) the 24th of June |
|
this year and she made it to the Little Sturgis Rally and ended up with the Rats. |
|
I'm not sure if I'll ever see Krista again or if I'll ever hear anymore about her but, I will say this |
|
her but, I will say this about her........This girl rode her way right into a bunch of hearts that |
|
weekend (mine especially). |
|
I would like to thank a few special people for all the great help they gave the Rats and Krista |
|
t weekend..... Tooter,Kenneth and his wife (I can't spell her name), The Little Sturgis Rally |
|

|

|
