Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
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.
As we read your blog on the Journal today we want to also express our condolences and are sending out prayers to you and Linda and all of the family. We are all one family in RV-Dreams no matter if it is in sorrow or happiness in our traveling world. southwestjudy & Bob & 2blackdogs
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

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.
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!
