'She touched a lot of people's lives. She was my sister and she was my friend. She was fantastic,' Linda Cook, Dailey's sister, said.
A procession of bikers took to the streets in Tipp City, leading the charge was Kat Dailey's husband, Brian Dailey.
Brian says they never missed a chance to let each other know how much they meant.
'Not just I love you, but I'm in love with you,' Brian said. 'Tell your loved ones you love them now, and you know tomorrow's not promised.'
Katherine was driving down Eaton Gettysburg Road Tuesday afternoon when, according to troopers, she hit the back of a truck. She passed before she made it to the hospital.
Brian says it's hard to wrap his mind around it all.
'She tragically lost her life that day because somebody wasn't paying attention,' Brian said.
In the past year, there have been over 820 motorcycle crashes across Ohio. Katherine's makes the fifth motorcycle crash in Preble County.
'There's 820 families just like my family right now, and I don't want anyone to have to go through, one more is too many,' Brian said.
The family set up a tribute for Katherine at their home. They say she had a heart of gold.
'You never left our house hungry. If you did, it was your own fault,' Brian said. 'She didn't have any room in her heart for hate, it was love.'
Brian had a message for all drivers.
'Stop driving distracted, get off your cell phones, turn off the radio,' Brian said. 'It's not that important. It'll be there when you get home.'
The Dailey family is in contact with the Ohio State Highway Patrol about the investigation. Both the family and OSHP are urging drivers to look out for motorcyclists on the road.

Ex-Harris aide argues more police won't make streets safer, citing experience as a ‘Black woman in America'
MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend pushed back on increased police presence in D.C., claiming during a panel Tuesday that, as a Black woman, she doesn't believe more officers make communities safer—particularly in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Sanders-Townsend, who served as chief spokesperson and senior adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris before joining MSNBC in 2022, spoke on President Donald Trump's new initiative to stop crime in the nation's capital. Trump announced Monday that he plans to deploy approximately 800 National Guard troops and assume oversight of the Metropolitan Police Department to tackle rising crime in Washington, D.C. The announcement caused shockwaves across media, but some, like MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, hinted that there may be some truth to Trump saying there is a crisis. "There has been a problem in D.C. It's not as bad as it was 2 or 3 years ago, but it's not as safe as Manhattan. It's not as safe as the nation's capital should be. By the way, I've lived in D.C. for 32 years. I can go chapter and verse if you'd like me to," Scarborough said. Sanders-Townsend appeared openly shocked at Scarborough's words and pushed back, citing her experience as having lived in D.C. for the last 10 years and her husband running the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington. "It is perceived violence amplified by some actual real acts of violence," she said before adding, "the way I've heard D.C. being described this morning is like it's a city under siege, like it's a dangerous place, clutching your pearls, you've got to keep your bag under your dress when you leave the house. And that's just not true." She said that the conversation is revolving around these instances of "juvenile crime" that Trump is using as a pretext for his "authoritatrain overreach." Sanders-Townsend argued there is just barely enough real crime to make people think that Trump may have some legitimate reason to take such action, but all the while, people are "ignoring the fact that more police officers on the street are not going to fix the issue of juvenile crime." Scarborough urged her to clarify, asking, "You don't think more police make streets safer?" "No, Joe. I'm a Black woman in America," she said. "I do not always think that more police make streets safer. When you walk down the streets of Georgetown, you don't see a police officer on every corner, but you don't feel unsafe." "So what is it about talking about places like southeast D.C., right, Ward 8, if you will, that people say, 'Well, we need more officers to make us safe?' I think we have to rethink what safety means in America," Sanders-Townsend argued.

After Fatal Explosion, Focus Turns to Steel Mill's Future and Past
A day after an explosion killed two workers at a U.S. Steel plant, age-old questions were raised on Tuesday about the safety of the inherently dirty and dangerous business that has defined the Pittsburgh region for more than a century. Officials expressed relief that the air showed no discernible traces of sulfur oxide, which can hamper breathing, and they promised a full accounting of what happened when a routine Monday morning at the Clairton Coke Works was shattered by a gas explosion in two battery ovens. One of the dead is Timothy Quinn, 39, a second-generation steelworker and father of three who was described as a leader with a wry sense of humor. The other worker who was killed has not been publicly identified at the family's request. Ten other people were injured in the explosion. 'We owe them an answer for what happened,' Gov. Josh Shapiro said at a news conference on a scorching Tuesday afternoon after meeting with the loved ones of the steelworkers who died. 'We owe them the answers to their questions, and we owe them to never forget the sacrifices that occurred here yesterday.' The mill is one of three plants that are part of the recent $15 billion merger between U.S. Steel and the Japanese company Nippon Steel. The Biden administration had blocked the deal, but the Trump administration approved it in June. The merger was hailed as a victory for the region as Nippon pledged to pump $2 billion into the mill, which sits along the Monongahela River about 15 miles south of Pittsburgh. But Monday's explosion brought to the fore the troubled safety history at the mill, where coal is converted through heat into coke that later is melted into liquid steel. Want all of The Times?
