    Jan sorry for your loss. I will miss Don greatly as he was always funny and always had a comeback for everything. I lost my mom, Maggie, two days after Don passed. I can see both of them now watching over Arbor. He is watching over Station B and she is watching over Station A. Arbor residents and employees are so very lucky to have two very special angels looking out for all of them.

    I absolutely loved Don's will and strong heart. He always had a smile on his face when I walked by his room. He always got mad at me though when I wouldn't let him outside in the middle of winter. I will greatly miss him and his witty comments, as well as Benji, Jan and the "new baby" (dog) of the family. Angie
