Dear Cousin Doris,
I wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to you in your loss of Don. I know what you are going through at this time it is not easy and some how each day we seem to get through it. I am so glad you called to let me know and I am here for you anytime you need to talk. Jim and I always looked forward to our summer visits to go to dinner with you and Don and enjoyed every minute of it.
All my love,
cousin Peg

My Wife & I are very saddened to hear of Mr. Don's passing.
I had such great memories of you both, and when Mr. Don took me for a tour of you place on Asbury Road.
I loved our days at Williams & Hibler, Mr. Don will truly be missed.
God Bless you & comfort you during this time of mourning.
Love
Paul & Robin Wallace
