To My Friend Don,



I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words alone can't help heal your pain but time will help. Someone once told me that everything in life is a gift and although I didn't know Linda it sounds like you were given a beautiful one. If I can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call on me.

Warmest Regards,

Mike Mertz

My thoughts are with you Don.

I am so very sorry for your loss.



You have so many years of memories. Hold onto them tightly.



I'd like to also share this poem with you:



Those we love are never really lost to us.

We feel them in so many special ways, through friends they really cared about and dreams they left behind.



In beauty that they added to our days, in words of wisdom we still carry with us, and memories that will never ever be gone.

For everywhere their love lives on.



Love,

Holly
