Dear Linda, I was very sorry to learn, in a conversation with my Mom, of Don's recent passing. When we marry we sometimes speak of growing old together, and now it seems we have arrived at that season of life. I'm sorry that you did not have more of those years together with Don. He was very cordial whenever we met. I am glad we have been able to visit every once in awhile over the last few years, and that has been wonderful! Our families spent such enjoyable times together. We always loved visiting with the Simar family and all the Iverson bunch. I love you and pray for blessings of comfort to be with you now and as you move forward. Sincerely, Julie
