Mary, I have been thinking of you every moment of every day since hearing the news of Alden. He was a very stoic man who Donnie admired. They shared some wonderful time together here on earth and I know in my heart Donnie was there to greet Alden!! May you find strength in wonderful memories and knowing we will see our dear husbands again one day!
