Not sure what to say?

I first met Don when I worked as a Nurse Supervisor at Freedom Village in Bradenton around 2013. I was finalizing my med pass when he approached me at the end of a long hallway in the Assisted Living wing.

I had the pleasure of being at Don's funeral, to me it wasn't mourning the loss of Don but to celebrate his new life. He was a man who really enjoyed life to the fullest. Thank you for your service to this great country, its people like you that make this country so great, may your soul rest in peace.
