I am so thankful for the visit Don and I were able to share on Friday. What a wonderful person and friend. Don was like family to us. He knew our family very well and we knew his. I will miss just walking in and surprising him and sharing a cup of Joe's awesome coffee! I am thankful he is no longer in any pain and has been reunited with his loved ones. I will visit with you again one day Don, but this time it will be on the other side! My condolences to the McEwan family.
