My deepest & heartfelt sympathy. Don had the kindest & brightest personality of anyone I ever met. He was so happily in love with Anna, even thru his pain he still showed gratitude, What more can we ask for in this life but to love & be loved in return.God bless you Don.

I met Don for the first time in the last few weeks of his life, and even in the grips of his serious illness, he was bright, funny, thoughtful, and tender. Who wouldn't fall in love with such a man? My respects and condolences to Jann and Lisa, my new and treasured friends. With sympathy and love, Laura
