To the Kidd family, my prayers and heart goes out to your whole family. There are no words to describe pain and sorrow.

I worked with Don in the Detective Bureau. I will always miss him calling me "left eye ninja" every morning when he hears me walking into their unit. We always joked and had lots of laughs.

I am lost for words like everyone else who knew and loved Don.

I, along with Don's colleagues, will miss him greatly.

Victoria (aka Ninja as Don gave me the name)
