Dear Edith and Family: We were so sorry to hear of Don's passing and will always remember how kind you and Don were when our Mom lived next door to you on Springside Drive. I really do not know how we would have managed without you both. You had a long and happy marriage but no time is the right time to lose the one you love. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Love, Babe and Jim Sisler - Posted by: FROM:Babe and Jim Sisler () on: Oct 15, 2014
