Mrs Crist and Kenny… I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Crist.  I had only recently learned of his move to CV, and I had hoped to get in to see him there.  
Donald was a great friend to all of us in our little neighborhood, and I especially appreciated his kindness to me and my family. I will cherish our neighborhood memories forever.  God bless you both, and God speed to Donald.
