We are sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Don. Each time we saw him, he greeted us with his big smile, warm handshake or hug, which was quickly followed by lively conversation, jokes and laughter. We really appreciated Don's sense of humor and joy. Our deepest sympathy to Aunt Judy and the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With much love,
Tom, Kelly & Ruby Harlin
