Gretchen and Heidi, you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers now and always. I will always remember Uncle Don as a man who had great love for life, a quick wit and love for all that is NO and a man who helped get me through Algebra II--long distance! I wish there was something I could do to help you both through this time....but always know that I am here if you need anything. Love you
