I am so sorry to hear the news of Don's passing. I know it has been so tough and for such a long time now. Even knowing how things were progressing and what was inevitable, nothing can prepare you for what you had to endure and are still aching from. I am hoping that your heart will always be filled with love and I am asking for peace and comfort for you and the entire circle of family and friends that you and Don shared. Even though my heart is sad, I am so glad that Don had the opportunity to pour out so much love in his final gift to you. May your garden always grow strong and may the beauty always fill you with his love.
I offer my sincerest condolences and please ask if there is anything I can do for you.
With love,
Ed
