Condolence from Steve Smith on November 3rd, 2017 10:05 pm

Hi Candy,
I hope you get this message as we have never met. I wish we had. He always spoke highly of you. I was one of Don’s fellow salesmen. Don was a great guy as you know and a great friend. There were many a convention or sales meeting that he and I would get to laughing so hard both of us would have tears running down our face. I liked Don a lot and I will really miss him.

May you be comforted in your loss by your friends and family and strengthened by your faith in God.
God bless and keep you,
Steve Smith
