You have always been larger than life. Sending thanks out to the universe and in to the earth, which now hold your energy, for the opportunity of knowing you. Thanks for all you have given.

My deepest condolences for Don's family! As a member of NEB family I was lucky to meet Don in person and I will always admire him as an extraordinary person and scientist. He will always be in our hearts.

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
