This is from the News 7 article...
"In the meantime, Anita Zaffke's son wears black nail polish to bring attention to the need for stricter penalties for people who hurt motorcyclists like his mom.
"I'm sure there are motorcycle groups who would like to hear about this story and potentially help us get the story out," said Greg Zaffke."
Most of us have lost a friend or family member while they were riding or driving. Paint 'em up!

I did. Will send a pic this weekend...I'll be busy the rest of the week attending Anita's services. I'll add your blog and your website to my blog as soon as I can figure out how to do that (I'm an abject newbie at blogging)
Another sad story, sad day and sad ending., May she rest in peace
