Dear Don,
We will miss you and your visits to us. Delighted that you got to play a few golf courses in Canada. A wonderful man who loved mom dearly, that's how we will always remember you.

Don, although I knew you for only a couple of months, last winter, you touched my life forever. I'm so glad to have finally met you as Dave had talked so fondly of you. I'm glad you enjoyed my X-mas cookies and glad Dave and I were an influence in your engagement to Theresa. Your last words to me were, "you are a very special lady," and that meant the world to me. Our return to Florida this winter will not be the same without your smiling face.

God grant you the peace you so greatly deserve and know that you will be truly missed.

Love,

Pam Hollebrands and Dave "Gator" Garwood
