Thanks Robbie!

you guys rock! a good deed like this will never be forgotten. thats wha GD.COM is all about, being a FAMILY.

Wow, that is awesome! Thanks to all who made it happen!

I that you guys did this and think it is AWESOME that you even thought about replacing the memorial's, but I have a dumb question...

Since "technically" that is Railroad property, will the memorial's be allowed to stay up?

who knows, but they are going to have to work their arse off to take them down this time.. 2 foot down with over 100 pounds of concrete per cross.

thank you O SOTO for all your hard work and time

thanks John.

I certainly hope the Railroad "overlooks" them. What a wonderful memorial. Way to go GD.com members!

you're welcome... was well worth it and would do it again without hesitation..
was a very touching day.There was a guy there, don't think anyone knew him. He had his boy with him,probably about 6years old. they watched the whole thing, he was leaning over talking to the boy quietly the whole time. After the crosses were done, he got in his golf cart and left. Never said a word to anyone else. If this made enough of an impression on this kid to not make a decision like was made on the tracks a few weeks ago It will save something like this from happening to him. We will never know if it did or not, but was fully worth it to make the effort.

very nice. great job wish there were more people out there like you

Great job guys.

I wish I could have been there for that, you guys rock!

Great Job, Thank you!

Great job everyone The crosses look great. Can't wait to go visit them next weekend.

You guys are great, thanks.

To everyone involved.
WOW! What a great job. Thanks for taking your time to replace the crosses. It looks awesome.

Nice job everyone!!!


In the last pic, was the train stopped?

very nice!!

you guys are the bomb!

nope the train was movin

Great job on the crosses John. I'm glad we got a close-up of each one.

Very cool to all of you who were involved. I'm sure the families are very thankful.

Props to everyone.......

Very nice job, guys. Might save a life, and certainly touched the hearts of the families.

There were two groups of people there that Russ and I had never seen before. The man with the little boy was one of the first on the scene, he said it was really hard because there wasn't really anything he could do for them. There was also a couple there who saw the accident happen. They all said that they were glad to see crosses there again.

When the train went by, the engineer/conductor honked his horn and waved out the window as he went by. I have a feeling that if the people who run the lines have any say, those crosses will be there for a long, long time.

Saturday evening as we were on our way to Boardmanville, there was a lady who had driven over to the crosses by herself. Between the engineer and knowing that there is somewhere "physical" for people to go and pay their respects, I can't imagine a better way for any of us to have spent a Saturday morning.

I'll get more pictures up later. Thanks again to OSoto for making the crosses, Mike (Mestoy's husband) for transporting them, Pipelayer for getting the concrete and construction implements, and everyone who came out to help and pay their respects.

RIP Amanda, Jacob and Samantha

Very nicely done, thanks to everyone that made it happen. It was pretty moving being there... a great tribute and a reminder alike.

To all of those involved, our heartfelt thanks.

Laurie and Walt Hollis

it was very moving, I needed to excuse myself for about 5 minutes, my eyes came down with a leak!

They turned out beautiful.. You guys did a fantastic job.

God bless you all, I look forward to paying my respects at the new memorial soon.

Walker.........fellow duner and FPMX racer.........thanks again.

thank you all

thank you all

Rest in peace..

I saw the crosses as we pulled out today, they look great!
Are you planning on adding a plaque later? I noticed thay had a bracket of sorts on them.

those crosses should be there for quite some time. a reminder to those to enjoy the dunes as did they. did anyone notice what that Neon Yellow shirt said????

Thank you for doing this. I am not generally supportive of "highway memorials" but hope that this will remind others how dangerous our sport can be and how in the blink of an eye, life can change forever.

RIP to these young kids that lost their lives. I hope that the memorials inspire lots of conversations about safety.

X-5 is making granite plaques with a picture and dates etc. on s. He will have them up for christmas..

TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAD (ANYTHING ) TO DO WITH THE CROSS REPLACEMENT ....( WAY TO GO ) YOUR ALL FIRST CLASS IN MY BOOK..

I must say that you all ROCK.I was Honored to be a Very SMALL part of Helping on Sat. morning and was not ready for the emotions that ran through my body after the last cross was put into place.A huge Thank You to all that were there!!!!

You guys did a great thing....

Super job guys let's hope that everyone that drives by them thinks a little more about playing safe while in the dunes.

Awesome job. They look great and hopefully carry a very powerful message for others to be safe.

That is awesome. You guy defenatly earned a spot in God's good guy book.

You all did Great... R.I.P. kids.......
