    Deb, I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a great guy. When we went to the pirates game we had a great time. He made great Brandy. Don was a very loving husband to you and your best friend, this I know because he would just show up with a drink or food for you at different times. He was truly a good man. He will be missed by you, and the family and all the great friends you all have. May God wrap his arms around you with strength to get through the tough time . My thoughts an prayers are with you. Sincere Condolences, Stacy
