I am so sorry that everyone here lost Ramsey- their friend, mentor, and partner in passion. It is one thing to lose a loved one and another to have a friend pass on so suddenly. It seems so many were devastated by Ramsey's passing and it must be very emotional ceremonies you are having. It has been a long time since I lost a friend like that but there is something truly special about them we carry forth in our own lives.
This group has the spirit of your friend throughout and that is the awesome thing about how good people come together- in shared spirit. When I first found this forum I was impressed with the information sharing, encouragement and positive attitudes. (We've all seen other web forums not up to our standard) I had sent my RiP kit quote request right about the time this thread went up but John Brindell graciously handled my specs and fulfillment with the spirit of professionalism and generosity of attitude that I've come to recognize as permeating this group. Please take care of John, AOR's excellent employees and others who have even more of their foundation shaken by having their business lives rocked as well.
A few short months ago I thought it would be a long time before I could confidently buy a van. But from SMb Forum I have been able to absorb patience, learning, positive outlook and gain confidence to start my adventure. I appreciate the forum leaders and members who are stepping up to keep things on the same basis here during your time of loss. You all are Kings in my book!
Blessings to all, I hope things are going smooth enough, and best wishes as you meet to honor your friend Ramsey and his family.
Ann
