    Hi Chris and Carol-Lynn, I saw Don’s obit in the paper and just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. It’s a great shock, and if you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to call me. I remember good times many years back when I would babysit for you two. I have many fond memories of Carol-Lynn as a little girl. I still think of you often. Love, Lynne.
