Dear Mary Jo,
I usually don't read the obituaries on a Sunday night, but for some reason I did tonight and was shocked to see your beloved husband's obituary. I know your faith in God and love of family will carry you through this difficult time. May Don be your Guardian Angel always at your side. Blessings and Healing to you my friend.
