    So sorry guys. Feels weird not having him around to talk too or go shopping with. If you need anything or have any questions just call. I told your aunt Joan to give you my number. Again sorry. My kids are also really upset over this. Especially Bella. It hurt her pretty bad.

    Our prayers are with all the family. Do hope in time the sadness will lessen and happy memories will bring peace to each of them. I still remember Don as a youngster running around his yard on Roseleah Avenue. Time sure does fly by. Peace and love to all. Sharon, Chris and family
