Marilyn, So sorry to hear of Don's passing. I was blessed to have known you all in our younger adult year and was so pleased to see you after Ward's passing when you visited me in Texas. Please know that I'm praying for your comfort and the comfort of your family.

Sending our deepest sympathies for your loss. Camping with your Dad and family in Vermont is among my favorite memories. He was kind but firm. On the camping trip there was no tolerance for littering! He was a great role model. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry for your loss. Don was a giant of a man in every respect. I loved talking to him and always found him an intelligent and insightful conversationalist. May the memory of the years you shared be a blessing.
