Dearest Auntie Gudrun, Richard, Linda, Darren and Susan, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Don. I remember him fondly. Especially, all the laughs around your kitchen table. You know...my mom was always so serious and he just had a way to keep things lighthearted and bring a smile to her face. It makes me feel better to think that maybe they will meet up somewhere in heaven. Sending you lots of love and light. May he rest in peace and may you find strength in the bonds that you have with your loving family. Thinking of you. Wendy Wheeler West Kelowna, BC
