Dayle Veronica Downs

"Words cannot express how I feel. Rick, Cris, Gayle and the rest of Dayle’s family - You are in my prayers and my thoughts. I can only hope that this gets easier for you as each day passes. I felt kindred spirits in Rick’s sisters when I got to meet them at his graduation. I love you all and Dayle say hello to my guardian angels for me would you?"

"Dayle was my favorite part of SWIHA. Her spirit will live on through all of us, I know she is sending her love to all of us until we meet again. Thank you Dayle for everything."

"Dan, I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences go out to you and all of your family. Sincerely, Bill Vallely"

"I will miss Dayle. She was the best supervisor I ever worked for. She made this Earth a little more like heaven. I will miss you more than you know, Dayle."

"you have always, always been our special angel...our world has been so blessed with you....you are so loved....thank you, dayle, for all your love"

"Words cannot express... Dayle made such an impact w/ all of us. She is an amazing spirit you could see it in her eyes the second you met her. My thoughts & prayers are w/ you all. I’m sooo sorry for your loss..."

"Dayle taught two of my classes at SWIHA. I remember one PARTCULAR night when she asked us to write a letter to OUR HIGHER selves. I am verbose, and the entire class had gone home. (Night school). I knew Dayle probably wanted to leave, and I said "I’m so sorry to keep you here so late." She simply SMILED, and said "take as LONG as you wish." WOW! That sums up her attitude about her teaching, and her students. What a special lady. When I would see her arriving to teach, she ALWAYS smiled as she entered the doors of SWIHA. She was a bright light; one of the great instructors at our school. We shared a love of animals, and I would guess she is working with them now on the Rainbow Bridge! Dayle; your family will miss you terribly, and the many students you touched will miss you always. Love and Blessings, Leslie Rubel"

"Paul, My deepest condolences to you and all of Dayle’s loved ones. Dayle’s wise and gentle spirit, intuitive teachings, graceful connection with the universe and her amazing ability to connect to other living souls has impacted me forever. She will be carried in my heart and I feel blessed and am grateful for having shared time with her. May you find peace and surround yourself in her beauty, find her energy carried on every breeze and hear her laughter in the rush of the road ahead. Many blessings to you. In sympathy, Gill"

"Dayle was a beautiful person. I have known her for alot of years a SWIHA and PTMC metro. Her smile of energy and happiness is what I remember most. You will be greatly missed. The work she did and the people and students she inspired.She is in a better place and one day hope to see her again, May she smile down upon us all that knew her, Thanks for your service at the school. "The Ride is in our Hearts" Many prayers and light goes out to your family and friends. Peace"

"I will miss your beautiful smile and friendship. You will always be in my heart. Our rides will never be the same but I know you will be there with us."

"Dayle, our beautiful little sister, there are not enough words to describe the hurt and loss we feel. Your generous heart of gold showed through in everything you accomplished in your short life, from rescuing animals in need, to helping anyone you could if the opportunity arose. Your generous soul spread the love you radiated to all the people privileged to be in your life. Loosing you creates a huge hole in our world that none of us; either alone or together, could ever hope to fill. Our little angel is gone, and we will miss her forever."

"Dayle you were my first Swedish Massage teacher at SWIHA. I remember so vividly those days. You eased the nervousness and awkwardness I felt exploring a new avenue. I felt your love for animals and connected deeply when you lost your dog for the animals always gave us unconditional love which you in turn shared with people. You always kept yourself moving to a new level challenging yourself to be a better teacher, a better person and a new wife. I remember the happiness you eluded and your grace of coping with life’s twists and turns. Thank you for sharing your determination and strength with us all! Our family sends our deepest condolences to your family and friends left behind to mourn your loss and celebrate your life. Love, Regina and Scott Shakespeare"

"We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic accident that took Dayle’s life too soon. Several of us ride motorcycles and know the joy and freedom that one gets on such an adventure. Richard has fond memories of Dayle from when she was young and remembers her as always a carefree happy young lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time of sorrow."

"Goodbye to my little sister Dayle, Like sunlight sparkling off the waters of my soul, her memories will always be with me."

"Dayle ~ You were a wonderful teacher ~ thank you for giving so fully and completely ~ Your BIG heart is what will be remembered most. Our commitment to you is to allow you to continue to teach ~ from the Angelic parkways ~ Blessings dear one ~ May you ride with the Angels forever. Blessings : ) Rev KC Miller"

"My heart goes out to all of Dayle’s family and friends. I have taken a class through SWIHA, and have attended many events there. Dayle’s spirit and kindness will live on through the lives of those she touched, and will continue to make a positive impact on the world. God has a beautiful angel now, and the grief we all share in her passing is a symbol of the love we all feel for her."

"I didn’t know Dayle well, not enough to know she liked to ride. But I was in a few of her classes and sat with her through a few teaching seminars. I do know that she was always there to support you in whatever you chose to do and I will remember that I always saw her with a Smile on her face. She greeted everyone with kindness and an attitude of "How can I serve you today?". So I will now be praying to Dayle "How can you help me to serve today?" Thanks Dayle, your presence has touched a lot of lives in many ways to those of us who really didn’t know you well, but felt simply your kindred spirit."

"To Paul and all Dayle’s family, We did not even know you until the news of this tragic accident happened. Our hearts go out to the entire family and friends of this terrific lady. Gone too soon. God must have needed more angels. Dierks Bentley (singer and fellow biker) has a wonderful song that might bring some comfort at this time. It’s called "Long Trip Alone". Music is a great healer. May you all find peace in your own ways. RIP Dayle."

"Dayle always left a room better off for having been there. She was a good friend in times past and it saddens me greatly that she is gone. I wish her husband and family and all her many friends my heartfelt condolences in this tragedy. Hang in there. That"

"My heart goes out to Paul and her family. I knew Dayle thru her Mother and Frank. Dayle was a beautful woman in heart and spirit. She made you feel welcome and loved even the first time you met her. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is riding in heaven now. How beautiful that ride must be."

"Farewell bright light from our community fire. Your gentle spirit, lively wit and love of life will be with us always. May your journey home be like the ones you loved on the the earth...wind in your hair and sailing without care home to wait for our arrival!"

"Dayle- I will miss you alot. You and PT really made me comfortable with PMRG. I know you are loved by so many people- but you were so very sweet and kind, I will never forget you. I look at our pictures together and rememer our rides. Now that your an angel, not thay you alread weren’t. I know you will watch down on all of us especially Paul and guide to do whats right in life. Your legacy will always live on. Paul- my deepest sympathy to you. The special love the two of you have with help pull you through this. Love and miss ya Traci"

"My sweet sister, how will our smiles ever be the same without your positive attitude and generous heart. You are truly and angel walking amongst angels today. God Bless you, we will miss you forever..."

"Dayle was my Teacher, mentor and therapist. She was giving in feedback to help me with my work. She was a very structured and disiplined teacher and giving of her wisdom. She was very focused and she and her dogs helped me realize that I have an inner Star trying to burst out and shine. What a cool Lady! ~ She will be missed but most of all SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED. Love and Peace to her family. Nikki Coscino and Paul Block"

"Gayle, I’m still thinking of you and my heart is still heavy with your loss. My husband was at JCL, I was the woman who sat beside you outside on the bench Saturday morning not knowing you were Dayle’s sister. My sister and I are also 18 months apart but I’m the younger one. You and Dayle are still in my thoughts and will be for quite a long time. Marianne"

"Prayers are being lifted for each of you at this time. Dayle is still my mentor and will always be. Her teachings will go on. Her smile is imprinted in the memories of anyone who knew her. She was a beautiful Earth Angel and did her work with Grace. She got it. Lord, Thank you for allowing Dayles’ beautiful spirit to be with us here on earth. She brought out the Goddess in all of us and made it comfortable to be authentic. In humbleness, I am blessed."
