I've had the pleasure of knowing Donald "Stuart" & Sandra for many years. I work for a Doctor & they both were my patients. Stewart was so full of life and laughter & always ready to share a joke. I always looked forward to seeing both of them. My heart is so heavy with sadness. Sandra & the family are in my prayers.
