Jon, from the first time we met, Alie made us feel like we had been friends forever. She was truly a special woman. I remember when we drove away with the 77 Newell, there was a bit of sadness in her eyes, but yet happiness that it was going to a good home. We truly feel blessed that we met her. Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that if there is anything that you need to just call.

I want to thank all you gurus for your very kind thoughts. Your condolences mean a lot to me. Most of you I know only through your postings, but that is enough to know that you are a bunch of kind good-hearted people. Without people like you on our side, people like me would be in real trouble. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Everyone says I'm doing well, I take their word for it. One frequent word of advice I hear is: "don't make any major decisions for at least the first year". Despite that I've been exploring the idea of selling the Newell Alie and I shared. I have trouble imagining trips could be nearly as enjoyable without her there beside me in the copilot seat telling me where to go. If anyone has extensive experience traveling in a large coach alone I would certainly appreciate hearing how it worked, or better yet how you made it work.
