Jack, Julie, Nikki, Cindy and family:
I am thinking of you often these past few days. I wish you peace, rest, and warm memories to gradually fill in the blur you must all be in right now. I will always remember the many times I babysat you as kids, and what a special family you are to so many. Take care and stay close. We keep you in our prayers.

Dear Julie, Jack, Nikki and Cindy:
I will hold on to my memories of the wonderfully offbeat and insightful conversations that always developed when Donald was in the room. I wish I had reached out to him more over the past few years, regretfully assuming he'd be there when I got around to it. Please accept our sympathies. We will be in touch soon.

Don always brought a smile to our faces around the office at Gelco. He had a unique/dry sense of humor. Infact some of his comments sill make me smile as I write this message. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and dear friends at this time. God Bless Don.
