Howard we are so sorry for your loss. It is good that you did get to spend some time with him. Please except our condolences and we are praying for the family.

Joe and Sherri

My heart goes out to you and Linda at this stressful time.

Howard, Linda and all your family.   Our sympathy to you.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  I'm afraid this is the downside to traveling, ......being away from family.  Dennis and Brenda

H & L, I'd like to add my condolences to your group of friends here. We all felt your loss as we read your journal. My prayers are with you both. Rick Little Rock

We share your loss, Howard.  We too have all too often lost those who are close to us.  We pray that your travels will be safe and some comfort will be found in friends and family saying goodbyes together.

We do appreciate you sharing your thought processes in your travel plans and how you are working those out to continue your lifestyle.  Again the lifestyle is unique to handling these periods of grief and your openess is helpful to the rest of us.

May the peace of God be with you all during this time,
Larry and Jacki

Howard, Linda and Family As you go through these troubled times, We hope you can feel and gain support from the RV-Dreams family that you have created. With over 700 registered families and countless lurkers, please understand that we all are right beside you in troubled times like this. Our love, support and prayers will see you through to brighter days. Jeff is now in the hands of the lord, and he will be well taken care of.

Howard and Linda...make sure someone has printed the song to preserve it for the kids who wrote it.   There is a poetry online that takes things like that and actually puts them into a book.  I have 2 such books one our oldest daughter is published in (after we lost my father in law) and one our youngest daughter is published in (after we lost my brother in law).  Then last week I was going thru papers on the desk and found this...it was written after 8/07  Anna

The Time Is Now 

The time has come,
For you to go,
Leave this world,
There is a placeBigger,
better and brighter.

The time is now.

It hurts so bad,
Knowing you’re gone,
Your love and memories,
Left to live on,
In this big old world.
 
The time is now.

The time has come,
You had to go,
You know you’re loved,
To us you’re still here
If even in only memories.

The time is now.


Dedicated to Tina Diffenbaugh

Howard and Linda, So sorry to hear about your loss, especially in the way it hapened. You're in my prayers. Bago. 

So sorry to hear of the tragedy so close to you.

It's especially hard when it is a circumstance as this one.

It is good that you all had your time together a few months back.

You and Jeff's family are in our thoughts.

Hugs, C

Howard and Linda, We have been off line for a few weeks and just read about your loss! Mike and I want to express our deepest condolences. We were so sorry to hear off Jeff's untimely death. Life comes at us fast sometimes but it also reminds us that all we have is today. We should live our lives fully each day - just as Jeff did. Wish we could put our arms around you and exchange a huge hug! A cyber hug will have to do. Take care!
