I wish there was something i could say or do that would ease the pain of this loss. I am here if there is anything i can do that would be of any help – anything at all. I love you all. Sending hugs and prayers.
So sorry to hear about a very good friend. We hadn’t spoken for a long time, but I always considered him my good friend. Heartfelt wishes go to his family and other friends. Prayers will be offered up as well. God be with you, Don.
He was always a mystery to me but we were always like old friends when we met. He would always get me with a joke that he presented so seriously. I’m sure he’s enjoying his wings and flying high especially since he now has his besty by his side. Rest in peace and enjoy the ride
