Irene and Family,
It has been many years since we have all been together. When Don was married to my mother Della we shared some special times. I'm so sorry I could not be there for you but my heart goes out to you all. It has been 20 years since mom has been gone and I think of her often just like you will think of your father. You have my sympathy. Susie
