We were very shocked to hear the sad news of the passing of your brother, Don. We found out after the funeral and just wanted to express our sincere condolences and that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Ann and your family. We remember your brother as a kind and very nice guy, and we'll miss him at future get-togethers. Please accept our sympathies.
