Hey Mark Donaldson.
I am so sad to hear of the loss of your wonderful wife Nell.
I don't know what else to say mate.
I only know that words don't fill that void. And no words I can think of will
help.
If you need too call me, I'm happy to talk. Talking is good.
Sincerely.
Stay in touch mate.
Chris and Dina.
