Girlieracr4g63 (Wendy) Please Read - PICS ADDED

[my dreamt dsm]

Fug, I was hoping for a better turn out. Chills up my spine and body. Im so sad to hear the news of someone I've never knew or spoken to has pass away but I feel connected. Im not sure of this cause I've never really knew her well. But I'm sure she wouldn't want us to weap in our sorrow. Instead be happy and move on.
Damn, what I would give to see her pass down tearing up that track in the car! My heart goes out to the family.
WENDY, WE WILL ALL MISS YOU AND WHEN I THINK OF DSM'S I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR FIGHT! I WON'T GIVE UP AS YOU DID TO REACH MY GOALS EVEN WITH TIME AGAINST ME!
my minds not here right now so pardon some of my confusing words! Damn!

I have followed this thread very closely and I just want to say that I have never met Wendy or Brad but she is truly my hero. Through everything she was going through she stayed strong even with her love of the DSM. I can't honestly say I would even think about mine if I were going through that. I was planning on selling my DSM in the next week or two. But after reading this I plan on starting a build in memory of Wendy. My car is also a FWD I am going to put a decal on the back window that says in Memory of Wendy Pate as well as the other decals on the side windows. My prayers are with the Pate family as they have been with Wendy through all of this.

this is an extemely spine chillin day for me.. i fallowed this thread for the longest time.. I left for a trip came back expecting to see millions of videos of her and that amazing car doing passes. I then relized what happen and our whole house of DSM enthusiasts broke a tear... my condolences, and may wendy RIP
pate family i wish you strength to get through this

RIP Girlieracr4g63. You are truly an inspiration to the rest of us. You hung in there long enough to know the car was finished & fully capable of it's intended purpose. You'll be missed . My condolences to Brad, 4 boys, family & friends.

I think we all were hoping for a much different result but it wasn't meant to be. GVR4.org's logo has gone pink in rememberance of Wendy GalantVR-4.org: We cannot proceed.

I hate to do this but it has to be done. Wendy has passed on to a better place, Wendy left us at 2.30 this afternoon. She leaves us with memories and thoughts of inspiration. Wendy will be with us in spirit where ever there is a DSM and more then one person. She will be loved by many and will be missed by everyone. I will stay here with Brad and the boys as long as they need me.

Brad has a lot to deal with right now so I will be speaking on his behalf in the near future, Thank you for all of your kind words in our time of sorry.

I was really hoping this day wouldn't come. For all those who were involved and wanted to make a difference, thank you. At times like this you sit there and realize how unfair life is - it's cold and unforgiving, even cruel. To think that life can just go on without a person seems tragic. But alas, all we can do is celebrate that person's life and share the memories of how they touched us.

My heart goes out to Brad, the family, and all of the close friends. Stay strong and know you're not alone.

Chris, some Tuners have put together 2 sticker ideas that are circulating elsewhere, should I have them contact you about sale here? Proceeds go to the Pate family, if I am not mistaken.

I am truly sorry to hear about this.... She was ALWAYS in good spirits despite the worst... she's a true inspiration to us all and a fighter. I know she's in a better place now, and I'm hoping and wishing the best for Brad and the little ones.

Hey Everyone,

All I can say is I have been really stepping back and viewing the world in a diffrereny way. Wendy took the time to look at the simple things and enjoy them. I truly am heart broken and miss her so much. I lost my wife, best friend, and soul mate. I spent many weeks on end bringing her the news of the build and she made the first dyno run. Unfortunately, she didnt get to make the latest one. Wendy deteriorated rapidly within the last month. She was given the opportunity to have a great Christmas with her boys. She will be greatly missed for a LONG TIME!!! I love you POOH!

I did make the promise to her to get this car down the 1320. I have driven this beast of a FWD. It is extremely FAST and down right scary at this point. As I drive the car , things are starting the feel more consistant. The roll cage is being welded in currently. It should be all done tomorrow. Soon to come to a track for dialing in and some seat time. Keeping Wendy's dream alive.

I thank you all for everything. It has been a really tough week. I will be posting cage pictures soon. I find it hard to to on the computer now, Im sure it will come with time. Time heals so they say.............WHO THE HELL ARE THEY???

Best wishes,
Brad Pate

Wow, I signed on to read about this thread and just found out My condolences to you, Brad and your family. May Faith keep you all strong.

Time heals so they say.............WHO THE HELL ARE THEY???

Right!?!?! Not sure who came up with that line. Time just makes you more calloused. It doesn't really heal.

Wish I could be there to crack and beer with you Brad, and listen to all the great stories I know you have of your time with Wendy. All you can do now is honor her with those positive thoughts. It won't make anything easier, I know, but it just might help drown out the daily realities that you'll continue to face.

All the best Brad.

As Admin for DSMTalk, I'd like to extend condolences to Brad and family from me and the membership. I was truly hoping for a miracle that she would beat this evil disease. Having lost my mother just over a year ago, this hits too close to home for me. Thoughts and prayers to those left behind. May Wendy now rest in peace.

"They" are the people that have suffered the same pain as you. "They" are the ones that have survived the sorrow and questioning of the way and why things happened.

I am not they, but I know who they are.

My condolences to Brad, 4 boys, family & friends your all in my prayers

When you go to the track i want to be there to see you run it. I just got my dsm running great. i think its so fast, i want you to show me, wendy, and all of the member what fast is!!!!!!!!
