Don always made sure you had a beverage in your hand, tunes playing and that a good time was had by all.
Our sincere thanks to all of the staff at the Abbotsford Cancer Centre and to the compassionate nurses at Langley Hospice for their care and support during this difficult time.
Due to COVID 19 restrictions there will be a small private family service.
In lieu of flowers, if you are able, please become a blood donor or support the Canadian Blood Services or B.C. Cancer Foundation.
I would like to thank everyone that has been on this journey with Don and I. We felt your support from the beginning, 18 months ago, to this very day. We needed and appreciated every phone call, text, email and visit to help us get through our days.
To say we will miss Don is an understatement. He will be remembered with love in so many ways by so many, and he will be forever in my heart.
Rena
