Joan and family,
So sorry about Don's death. I know it is difficult for all to lose a loved one and a friend. Don was a good man. I considered him a long time friend. He will be missed by all. Take care of each other.

Dear Joan, Doris, Donald and Family,
How sad I was to read about Don's passing. Our families had some good times together in Ft. Bayou Estates so long ago, and we had some good laughs in the office too.
He will be missed very much.
