Don,
I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother's passing. I know it is hard to hear (as it was for me) that she is at peace and no longer in any pain. Take comfort in the fact that she will be seeing her loved ones that went before her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I know she will be looking down on you smiling and saying thank you for being there.

Dear Therese and Don,
We were all saddened to hear of Dorothy's passing. Although we know she is now at peace and in a better place, we also know she will be missed a great deal. She could always count on you Don for anything and she did appreciate it. You were a wonderful grandson and she was lucky to have you in her life. We feel terrible we will be traveling on the day of her burial. If we can get back in time we will try to make it to the service. If not, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
All our love,
Mark, Beth , Gianna and Talia

Sandy and Jane, I share your loss of your mother. I will always remember Aunt Dot running in my house to help me with Jason and Jennifer when they were babies and giving them chocolate candy when they weren't suppose to have it. She was always there for me and always knew just how to calm the babies down. Just imagine all the noise in heaven now that all the Mitasky girls are reuinted and talking all at once.

So sorry for the family's loss, remembering all the times "Ma" (as I called her) hung out with Jane and I at their pool and all the advice that she tried to give us but we wouldn't listen. I'm glad she is at peace and joined again with Norval and Ruth.
