Hallo Don.

Those that know me have rarely known me speechless.  I am sobbing and speechless now as an expression of humanity and universal compassion has knocked me off my feet.

A man named Hans and his friends and family from Stuttgart, Germany went out of their way to come to Haderslev, Denmark to see my show and honor my brother Don's memory in the most fantastically thoughtful and human way possible.  Their grace is simply elegant.

A group of people caught my eye in the crowd during our set with a sign that said "Hallo Don".   

It didn't even register in my mind until after the show when Hans and his people came to see me and presented me with this card.

On the left is a note to Don that was written before he passed.  On the right is a note written to me after he passed.

They waited and came to find me miles away from my home and miles away from their own to express their condolences and share this with me.

I have only known such compassion in my heart of hearts.  The loving gesture made by these people makes me sob.  They never even knew Don, except through me and my songs. 

I am overcome with grief and gratitude.

I wish Don could have met these people in this life.  He would have never stopped thanking them and for that matter, neither will I.  Thank you and your friends and family, Hans.  

I'm honored and humbled to have made your acquaintance.

Love, 

Dana
