Betty, I was very sorry to hear about Don. Junior enjoyed talking with him. He was so very pleasant and made a lasting impression.
I don't know where my head was when talking to you. I didn't realize that you had just lost him. You have my sympathy.

Dear Betty- the four of us had some fun times and lots of laughs. Many of them sitting on your screened-in porch talking about everything! Don was a fighter! I hate cancer. I'm sure going to miss Donnie Boy. Rest in peace.

Betty, I am so sorry to hear about Don's death. I enjoyed working with him at the bank and I also enjoyed talking to him every May on his birthday. He suffered the last few years and he gave it his all in fighting that nasty cancer. He was a great guy and had a great and wonderful sense of humor. Rest in peace now, my friend. We will all meet again.
