I'm not yet ready to say my good-bye that will come another day. I may not see his smile or hear his special laugh but I will never forget them. I will never let him out of my heart; he will always be with me.

Our complicated yet very special loving relationship, that only he and I understood, holds so many very special memories. Those memories are what help me get through each day.

Our children and grandchildren miss him very much. I miss him, I'll always love him and I will never forget him.

His loving friend, companion, and yes his soul mate.

A Friend
A friend is like a shade tree
Beside a summer way.
A friend is like the sunshine
That makes a perfect day.
A friend is like a flower
That's worn close to the heart.
A friend is like a treasure
With which one will not part

Don and I were best friends growing up. We went everywhere together during Junior High. I am so sad to learn of his death. I had hoped he would come to the 35th reunion last summer. I loved Don ... rest in peace my friend.
