Grief is Like Carrying a Stone in Your Pocket
“The best way I can describe grief as the years go by is to say it’s similar to carrying a stone in your pocket.
When you walk, the stone brushes against your skin. You feel it. You always feel it. But depending on the way you stand or the way your body moves, the smooth edges might barely graze your body.
Sometimes you lean the wrong way or you turn too quickly and a sharp edge pokes you. Your eyes water and you rub your wound but you have to keep going because not everyone knows about your stone, or if they do, they don’t realize it can still bring this much pain.
There are days you are simply happy now, smiling comes easy and you laugh without thinking. You slap your leg during that laughter and you feel your stone and aren’t sure whether you should be laughing still. The stone still hurts.
Once in a while you can’t take your hand off that stone. You run it over your fingers and roll it in your palm and are so preoccupied by its weight, you forget things like your car keys and home address. You try to leave it alone but you just can’t. You want to take a nap but it’s been so many years since you’ve called in “sad” you’re not sure anyone would understand anymore or if they ever did.
But most days you can take your hand in and out of your pocket, feel your stone and even smile at its unwavering presence. You’ve accepted this stone as your own, crossing your hands over it, saying “mine” as children do.
You rest more peacefully than you once did, you’ve learned to move forward the best you can. Some days you want to show the world what a beautiful memory you’re holding. But most days you twirl it through your fingers, smile and look to the sky. You squeeze your hands together and hope you are living in a way that honors the missing piece you carry, until your arms are full again.”
Ron, you are our “stone” and we will feel you. You meant the world to us and we’ll miss you terribly. We’ll take comfort in touching our “stone” everyday. We love you and will never forget you.
Ed,Gail,Corey and Colin Snyder

Ron was like a big brother to me ,a son to ROSS and Bea ,he was always here to help with the job . He always was lending a hand. He can fix anything .He always had time to have a beer after work with ROSS and visit with Bea. He was a jokester and a trickster a big kid. He always had a smile and a sparkle in his eye .He was a great cat and dog sitter when we are away ,I think he even learn to like the cat .Ron taught me how to fix so many things. He was a very hard-working man he loves his family very much and his friends as well .He was always there for bearhug when you needed one. There is no job that was too big that he couldn’t handle . He would teach you how to do it along the way. I miss hanging out in the shop with you. Know we love you and we hope your at peace enjoying a beer.
Love Bea and Lesley. Our time together was to short ♥️But an honour to call you big bro.

My condolences to the whole Bower Family. A very sad time. One thing about Ron was he always thought of others before himself. I remember when my pipe broke downstairs and i had water spraying everywhere, there was Ron to my rescue. He helped me out so many times which i truly appreciated. My last wonderful memory was the last haircut i did. He put a song on, he put his hands on my shoulders and every step we took we kicked out to the side until we got to the stairs. I heard a slight chuckle behind me.
I will really miss one of my favorite customers...handyman and neighbour. Xo
