February 4, 2019 at 10:37 pmDoris, I’m so sorry to read about Don’s death. Although my brother Ken and I had not seen either of you in years, we’ve spoken of you often and knew you were family. I regret that our lives and distance interfered with our chance to see each other. Please know you are in our thoughts. Carol Hux Burnett
