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

May God be with you and your family during this time.
