So sorry Sheila for the passing of Don. He was a really nice and talented man. I will always remember playing cards with him and you and Debbie and Skip and Gidget in Florida. He always made me laugh. I also loved watching you and Don dance at the Legion. Both such good dancers together. Sending our thoughts and prayers to you and your family❤
