      It is my hope for Lia to pursue her peace and passions by following her heart. I would love for her to carry on her father's legacy, and she likely will. Yet she owes us nothing. She will carry on her father's legacy by following her own passion and drive wherever it leads. We will have to wait and see as I'm quite sure she has never yet imagined racing without her father in the mix. Whatever she decides to do with her future is absolutely valid. I'm so glad Ken was able to be part of her first racing experiences, her first car, her getting her license, etc. We can absolutely see that what Ken already gave us was possibly nothing compared to what was to come. May he RIP.
