Dear Barbara and girls and grands, What you are going through now is so very hard. We are deeply saddened by your loss. We do not have the words to say to help, but know we care and pray….”Lord thank you for the life of Don, a life filled with family and friends to keep his memory alive for many more years to come. Give those who love him comfort and peace of heart we ask. Thank you Jesus. Amen.”
Love, Marcia and Marijo

Hello family, Aunt Barb, Kelly & family, Holly & family and Dawn.
Our deepest condolences to you all. We wish we could all be there to comfort in this time of sadness. May you all feel God’s presence as you prepare the arrangements for Donnie and for months to come. It’s never easy to say goodbye to our love ones on this side of Heaven, but we do know we have the hope in Christ that one day we will be reunited with them.
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.”
1 John 5:13-14
We love you all and will be lifting you all up in prayer,

Always a good friend. Liked to laugh and tell stories while in school together. We would be prone to get in MINOR TROUBLE together, but we SURVIVED. May he rest in peace, and my condolences to his lovely and great wife, BARBARA AND FAMILY.
