To Karen and family, I was so sorry to learn of Don's passing. You know of course how much we all loved Don and you, and how you both kept our little Tennis group together to have some wonderful times. Don will certainly be missed by all his friends and there were many. May God grant his blessing of peace on his family and may he rest in peace.
