R.I.P.

Death comes to us all, often much too soon….

We have a friend, had a friend who chose to go meet death early, much much too early.

He was an RVer, lived here in his RV full time and wintered in the  SW USA.  He and his wife had separated last spring but he was still happy, outgoing and had moved on. Then last week he received some devastating financial news.  They found his body two days ago.

A huge shock to us. Colin had worked for and with him over the years when we lived in Vancouver & we were happy to reunite with him when he moved here a few years ago.

LIfe is short, be happy, love each other….

We will miss you Reid.  Maybe we didn’t tell you enough how much we enjoyed your company and just being with you?

    I hate losing friends. I have to go to a funeral tomorrow of a gal I worked with. She was my age-the good do die young sometimes. So sorry for your loss.

    What a horrible thing. I can’t even imagine. Hug each other and your dogs, and wish him peace is all you can do. Take care.
