Dear Nancy, Ronnie, Angela and Annette,
I feel so sad and useless at this time, hearing of Donald's death is such a sorrow and my heart is with each of you and the remaining family. I can remember, some years back, the many fun times we've had and wouldn't trade them. When you were traveling from FL, I believe coming to see us in VA and Donald had to go by way of home to mow the grass. That gave us many laughs and I will miss those laughs and fun times with you. I will be with you in spirit tonight. Sarah Fuller Apex, NC
