    My deepest condolences Judy to you and your family. It was always a pleasure to see Don in the clinic.He never complained. He went on fighting like a warrior never letting you worry, a true gentleman, whom I will miss dearly. I’m so thankful I was able to see him last week. Thanks Judy for allowing me to stop by it was very special to me.
