Don and Linda,
We're so sorry to hear of the passing of Don's dad. You're never really prepared when something like this finally happens even though you know the only thing you can do is make him feel as comfortable as possible, and we know how much care you put into making him comfortable through his last weeks, days and months. And he knew it, too. We have hugs waiting for you at the Stallion!

Although I did not know Mr. Clayton, I do know how much he meant to your family because of our conversations over the years. His passing has particular signifigance to me, as my dad traversed this life at the same age some ten years ago.
You are in my prayers and hopes at this time.
