Great friend your warmth, giel and intellect has always amazed me and those you josted with. You reached out to those in need and those on high without compromise.

Thank you dear friend for all that you shared with me and I hope when my time comes we can share a burbone again.

So sorry to hear. Thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and family. Donald was a pleasure to talk to. He always made me laugh. May the Angels watch over him.
