I'm writing this at 4:32 while you are having the visitation. Wish I could be there with you in person because I love your whole family. Don was a good, loving, dependable husband, father, and grandfather and great grandfather. I'm glad you were able to have your nice 50th wedding anniversary party several years ago. I know you'll miss him a lot.

I know that what you are going through right now is very difficult. I offer you my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this time in your life. I am honored to have known the Don. In these moments of loss, words may be useless since they cannot begin to express the sorrow that I know you are feeling from his passing. Despite the loss of the physical presence of him, I know that God has assigned him to watch over you throughout your lives. Please accept my condolences.
