Dear Becky: I know that you will miss Don but I am glad he is not suffering any longer and in a better place. I am going miss his smile and his wonderful remarks to me at church and him just being there. I loved Don and you very much. Praying for you. Please call on me for anything! See you soon.

My poppop,
I am going to miss you for many reasons, but the most of all is your humor. Whether it was a silly joke, a “look” you gave or a disappearing thumb trick you always kept me on my toes and laughing even up until the very end. Thank you for allowing me to take care of you those last few days. I will cherish that time forever. Keep them laughing in heaven and until I see you again know I will be taking care of Nana. With all my love, hugs and kisses your “favorite” granddaughter;) Starla
Dear Miss Becky, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Don was a wonderful man. I sure will miss him and I know that Addie and Lucas will surely miss him playing with them in church. Sending our love and prayers and please be sure to let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Love, Vince and Pat.
Becky and family,
Don was such a sweet character and had a wit about him all could enjoy. At church he could brighten up anyone’s day with his sarcastic charm. Don was loved by many and will be sorely missed. May God welcome him home. Keep his memories in your hearts and he will always be with you. God bless.
