Our deepest sympathy to Ralph (president south side riders), David, Jacky, family, friends and biker friends with the death of Rose (first lady South Side Riders).  We can’t stop the tears for the sad loss you are experiencing now, but we know that Rose has no more pain, no more worries and where she is, it is in heaven. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and friend to all who knew her. We always remember the smile she had and when the pain was too much for her she still said “I am ok”. We lost a very good friend. God took his angel home. We pray for comfort and peace in this time, and when times you are lonely just look up to God he will be with you always. We love you all. Love Johan, Isabel and Veronica Lange (Veronicas Biker Stall) Phantom Riders.

Met ‘n baie swaar en hart seer hart stuur ons, ons meegevoel aan Ralph, gesin en klub lede met die afsterwe van Rose Swanepoel (South Side Riders).** 2 Timoteus 1:10 – Hierdie genade is nou aan ons geopenbaar deur die koms van ons Verlosser, Jesus Christus: Hy het die die mag van die dood gebreek deur die evanggelie die onverganklike lewe aan die lig gebring.**  Met sy koms na die aarde, ontneem Jesus die dood vir altyd van sy angel.  Die evangelie wat Hy verkondig, gee jou die versekering dat selfs al sou jy van dierbares aan die dood afstaan, jy hulle eendag weer in die Hemel sal sien.  Omdat jy weet dat almal wat in Jesus glo eendag vir altyd sal lewe, het die dood vir jou sy mag vir altyd verloor.  Here Jesus hoe kan ek vir U dankie se dat u vir my die mag van die dood gebreek het en dit vir my en my dierbares moontlik maak om eendag weer vir altyd saam sal wees.  Rose ons gaan jou baie mis maar ons weet dit is net tydelik tot weer saam is.

Ralph & Family, We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God be your comfort through this difficult time.

Rose - What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more smile, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Yolandi & Mauro -  Zinda & Jorge.

Our Condolences and Deepest Sympathy to Ralph and the family and friend of Rose. She is now in safe hands and at peace with the world. From Rev Out
Dear Rose a year has gone by without you, they say time heals all wounds but it definitely does not fill that large gap in our hearts where you once were. There's not a single day that goes by without a pray for you, I know you are in Gods hands now and you are smiling down on us. Keep smiling my dearest sister, I love and miss you forever. From your loving brother. REST IN PEACE MY BIG SIS. 1968/12/24-2009/01/04
