My most sincerest apologies for taking so long to send my condolences to the Andranovich family, and to our sweet friend Karen. You and Cotten gave me one of the best times I could remember while visiting you both at Lake Havasu with your generosity incomparable! You and Cotton made everything wonderful and your love and compassion for the Donkeys-totally heartwarming! Cotten was one of the warmest people I've ever met and I can't help but say that besides his sons Cotton's warm and friendly ways will be remembered most threw you Karen for the two of you were made for each other. Rest in peace Cotton and don't forget to watch over the Donkeys!
