You don’t know me (yet), but I am Don’s brother. I’m really sorry you had to leave us all so very early, especially since I have only recently become acquainted with a few of your family members: Racquelle, my newly discovered sister-in-law, your very loving mother, and of course, Don, Zara, and Lia. I was really looking forward to meeting the rest of your large family sometime though, including you. But now you and I will have to wait until the great beyond—the blessed promise of Our Lord Jesus—before getting to do so. I look forward to meeting you there.
Until then,
Doug DeGroot

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family for your loss.
In 1984, Arnold and I graduated from CTA and the last at length conversation I had with him was at our twenty year class reunion.
Jorge & Lizzie,
Sometimes there is no explanations in life.
Dear Arnold,

I went to school with Arnold – I was several grades ahead of him but he was a friend of my younger sister’s, and I got to know him through her.

It’s always a shock to hear of the death of someone so young even more so when they have such a promising future ahead of them.
