Dear Don family,
My hearts go out to you on the loss of your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Arlene and Richard Don were among my parents' closest friends and neighbors. I'll always remember Arlene and her older sister Jackie as vibrant members of The Mah Jongg Ladies.
With love,
Della Leavitt and family
