Dear Sylvia
David and I are so saddened to hear this news of Don's leaving us. Over the years at Christmas we have so enjoyed hearing from you, catching up with your family news and especially seeing the family group photos. I (Andrea) enjoyed looking at all the faces, seeing the family resemblances and guessing who belonged to who! I believe Don was the one who made sure those Christmas greetings and photos went out. I hope the tradition will continue.
Sylvia, you and Don will always have a special place in our hearts. You and Don were among the first friends we made when we joined Bethany 40 years ago.
We know Don will be dearly missed until it is time to meet again. Please extended our warmest greetings to Donna & John, Linda & Dan. I think they are the only ones who will remember us.
Much love to you
David & Andrea Graves
