I did not know you, but I can know you through Don. Others who did not know you will also know you through stories shared from your family and friends, and in that sense your memory lives on and you will never cease from being...One observation I've made is that of a legacy which you leave to your family and friends; and that is one of being compassionate, loving, and understanding of one another. These, your contributions, will make the world a better place. In the final analysis, what this means is that you left this world a better place then when you entered it.....Thank You!
