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!!
Sadly, we lost a member of the RV-Dreams Family this morning. Robyn of Tim & Robyn whom I wrote about in the Journal a few days ago, passed away this morning from respiratory failure.
Jim and Linda Full-timers from 2001 to 2013 http://parttimewithjandl.blogspot.com/ 2006 Dodge 2500 Diesel pulling a Heartland 26LRSS TT May your days be warm, and your skies be blue. May your roads be smooth, and your views ever-new.
Tim, Our hearts and prayers are with you at this time. We got your message this morning and appreciate the response. We will be in touch. Please remember there are many loving arms around you this morning from the RV-Dreams family.
Sorry to hear the news about Robyn but as I was reading this post I was thinking about some of the post that Tim has made in the last year. Tim I will continue to pray for your peace, understanding and strength.
Little can be said to lessen the loss of a loved one, but the messages you receive here on the RV Dreams forum will let you know that even strangers care for you.
My God grant you strength, Tim.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your extended family.

I am deeply touched by all your expressions of caring. As I told Howard, by the example that he and Linda have set, the RV-Dreams family really is a special group of people.... because Howard and Linda are special people.
I'm sure you all feel as I do... that we really know Howard and Linda through their journal. And yet, they really don't know any of us whom they've never met. Even so, Howard reached out to me and called me. I am very grateful for that.
Robyn grew up in, and loved, Florida. We never had many serious conversations about what we wanted when things like this happened, but she did tell me that she wanted to be buried in Florida.
That's a promise I made to her that I am going to keep. The arrangements are not complete, but her funeral is going to be in Jacksonville some time next week.
Tim, my love and prayers are there with you during this difficult time. Robyn had fought so hard and I'm sure that you being there by her side is what gave her the strength to keep going. She was a blessed woman to have such a loving partner and I pray that you'll have the strength and support that you will need as you face the coming days. God bless you and your family. Kay Davis
May your comfort be great and your heart be loved as you journey through this loss. May you find peace along the journey and understanding from wonderful people like on the blogs. You are loved by so many in so many ways.
I don't know you, but I know many do.
travelinmama and papa

Just want to add our condolences along with all the other RV-Dreams family on your loss. It's difficult to know what to say on these occasions. We wish the best for you and your family.
Psalm 63;7&8 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Tim, cast your cares at His feet, then crawl up under His everlasting arm and rest. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for peace and comfort. Love, Dennis and Brenda

Tim, I am so sorry to hear that God wanted Robyn now. When things have settled down a tad, perhaps you will think about what you and Robyn wanted to do together. Maybe you can go traveling for her, she will still be with you in spirit. You will have lots of friends on the road, a lot of them right here in the RV-Dreams Family. Don't you think that this is what she would want you to do? Follow your dream. Happy Trails, Penny, TX
Tim, I had not read about your wife's accident until just recently. I am so sorry to hear about your loss and hope you will eventually start following your dreams again.
As a side note, I was visiting my sister in April. I got up in the middle of the night and she was sitting at the computer playing a game. She made a couple of comments, I responded, and then I went back to bed. The next morning I asked her when she went to bed. We didn't remember being up or being on the computer. I went over to the computer and brought up the game she had been playing. She's never played it before and has absolutely no memory of talking to me. She did remember looking at a large ceramic dog in her living room and it looked alive to her so she went over and petted it just to make sure it wasn't.
She lives alone and had just started re-taking Ambien as well. Looking back over some other strange happenings......missing jewelry etc......we now think she was sleepwalking and threw some things out. She's very lucky that nothing happened to her.
Tim, Dan and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. The RV-Dreams family is a great family to be a part of, so I hope you feel the hugs coming from all of us.
Dan and Gail

Tim, Denny and I send our sympathies to you and your family. You and Robin have put such a strong fight over the past year. I know nothing will replace Robyn but her memory will live on through you and everyone who loved her. We send you many hugs and hope that some day you will be able to fulfill the dream you two had of traveling this great country of ours. Denmy and Char

So sorry to hear about Robyn our prayers go out to you. We just arrived back in N.M. after flying for a 10 day visit to Pa. and am catching up on the RV Dreams forum. southwestjudy
I'm back in Georgia now from Robyn's funeral in Jacksonville, FL last Thursday. She is where she wanted to be - I kept my promise.
Charles (ROZ) Henry was there, and a finer gentleman you could not hope to meet. He gave me a card with a beautiful expression of condolences on behalf of the entire RV-Dreams family.
I want to thank all of you as well for your kind expressions of sympathy. I will always remember that, along with treasuring Robyn's memory in my heart. I miss her greatly.
Throughout it all Robyn's faith in God never wavered. It came to me early one morning last week that perhaps part of the reason why He waited 13 months to call her Home was to teach me a lesson in what true faith really is. I hope I can measure up to that.
So sorry to hear about the bad news (our computer was down for two weeks) and we do pray that you may have strength through these days. While we do understand that Robyn is now away and without pain, we do look forward to the time that we can all meet in the garden.
