On Tuesday I had the distinct honor of awarding Mr Hendricks the Veterans service pin for "Hospice of the Ozarks". He was very weak at that time but was able to return my salute which almost brought me to tears. What a great man, and hero he was, as I got to listen to his survival story as told by his son. He will not be forgotten.

Don and family: You may not remember me, but I assisted you in formulating and keeping your corporation up to date. I formerly worked at the Drake Law Firm - retiring a little over a year ago.
My thoughts and prays go out to you and your family in this most difficult time. May your wonderful memories from the past help you through.
