Linda: I’m so very sorry to hear about Don’s passing, and that you’ll have to continue your long deserved retirement without Don by your side!
I knew Don through my work (Lisa-Books & Magazines North Walmart) Don was always willing to provide assistance when asked, and yes, his stories and chill demeanor were always entertaining to me! I consider myself fortunate to have met and known him.
May your grief be gentle and that you may find ample relief in your memories.
