Dear Dave, Debra and Darlene,
I'm sorry I didn't take the time to contact any of you and get to know who you or Don really were. So much time has passed and so many memories to treasure (yours and mine). Several years ago, before Grandma Arlene passed, I reunited and learned all about Don's family. I'm sorry for your loss and hope as time passes your hearts heal and you will find comfort in knowing that Don, Uncle Kenny, Grandma and Grandpa are resting in the loving arms of our Creator. May they all rest in peace and find comfort in heart felt love and sympathy.
