Dear Don & Family, It's with a sad heart that I offer my deepest sympathy. I feel blessed that I was able to visit with her at our cousin's lunch this summer. It was a good day and a good memory. She was a very strong and brave women dealing with cancer. Always a smile on her face when I saw her. She will be missed very much. I pray that God has mercy on her soul and gives her everlasting life. Once again my deepest sympathy.
