Mary,
I'm so sorry to hear of Don's passing. My father (Gene Borseth) always spoke very fondly of Don. I also remember the Easter when Mary, Ryan and I came to visit. I felt so welcomed and had such a wonderful time with both of you.
You and your family are in my thoughts and Don is now in God's hands.
My sympathy -
