Oh Donna.....our whole family is so very sorry for your loss.... and saddened to know that we will not see Bid when we come back to the cabin this Spring. We were always so happy when we saw him making his way over for a coffee and a visit. Sometimes he'd stoop down and pick whatever flower was blooming and give that to me as he came through the door. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a story to tell..... a sense of humour that was unfailing! I can't put into words how much we will miss that! He had such a good heart!
One of the favorite times of the year was in April when all the boys would meet at the cabin for the weekend to get wood. Bid would go up the mountain with them and in years past insist on helping them cut the trees down and load the trucks. As he got frailer he would still go with them, point out the trees, watch while they cut them down, and then sit on a chair while they split the wood back at the cabin.....all the while keeping them entertained with his jokes and stories. It just won't be the same somehow.
He loved you and his family with all his heart and had a will to live like no one else we know. He'd always say " I'm not ready to go yet....but when I do.... I'm taking the top job because you know.... Heaven's for Bid".....!!
He was family to us and we will miss him very much! Donna... you are too! Please... when we are out at the cabin....come for coffee and a visit anytime you wish. At this sad time we want you to know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and hugging you close to our hearts!
Special Love from the Ramsden-Wood and Latham families:heart:
