My Dad is a resident of Bridgewater, so I often would visit with Donald in the hall. He touched my heart somehow because noone ever came to see him. I had a really hard time understanding him, but I'm positive that he knew everything I said to him. I promised him some warm pants for Christmas. Yesterday, when visiting my Dad, I learned of his passing & felt so bad that I hadn't seen him lately to talk. I will miss him for a long time, especially when I have to look at his empty bed. Linda
