Dear Jill, Mrs. Ecklund and Barry,
My deepest sympathies on the lose of your father and husband. Even though I only met him a few times, his honesty and caring for his family spoke volumes of what kind of man he was. My families thoughts and prayers will be with you during this trying time.
Peace and love, Kevin Brennan.

Dear, Dear Lorraine, Barry & Jill,
Donnie Ecklund was always very kind and very welcoming to me - especially over 40 years ago when I was the new one to the Sinnott/Ecklund family. The reunion up above between Don and Jim is one I wish we could witness.
Thank you all for loving me and keeping me part of this wonderful family.
