Dear Barbara & family,

I was so sorry to hear of Don's passing. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. I have been thinking about Don a lot since I heard he had gotten sick and have felt so helpless to do anything outside of my prayers. When I was a youngster, both of you were always so nice to me when I would stay over, and I enjoyed getting to know both of you better as I grew up. I feel so sad that he had to go so early when the last time I saw him a few years ago he seemed to be really enjoying his retirement. I will not be able to attend the funeral but wish I could be there. If there is anything I can do for you or your family, Barbara, please let me know. I am dumbstruck with grief and only wish I could thank him for all the nice things he did for me and the help he gave me while growing up. Love, Breck

Donnie, Hal and I want to tell you how sorry we are that you have lost your father. I hope you, Connie and your whole family find ease for your grief by sharing it with those around you. It is like a huge cup of tea that you don't think you could ever drink, but if each one of your friends, family and neighbors take a sip it will seem less heavy on your heart. We are here for you whenever you need us.
