Dear Harriet and family. We are so sorry and saddened by DooDoo's passing. We are in CA visiting our grandchildren and wish we could have been closer. We share your grief and will miss my cousin's calls. He never said goodbye without saying "I love you, Jiggy." Goodbye Doo-Doo, I love you. Jiggy

Harriett, We are so sad to hear about the passing of Don. You and Don were so helpful to me when my dad and Rosemary lived next door to you before they passed. May the memories of Don live within your heart forever.
