Happy Birthday, Don. Hard to believe it has been 15 years since you left to be with the lord. I know you have been doing great work there. Our world has become so cold and cruel. We need help down here.
I know you are celebrating with Flo, Don, and Trudy. I miss all of you.
One day we will all meet again. Until then I will do my best to watch out for and after your lovely, sweet and kind daughter. So no need to worry about her. She really misses you.
If you can send us a few of God's blessings our way. We would appreciate them.
Love you and miss you, Kay ❤️

Where did the last 12 years go ? More and more as time goes on and you get older you realize how much certain people meant to you. You a were a truly special man of God. My dad's oldest friend from the 40s. I miss talking to you and Sunday dinners. It would be so wonderful if I could sit with mom, dad and you for dinner. But that will have to wait. I know your with mom and dad and all smiles, healthy and happy. God bless you all. See you in heaven when its time to leave this world.

Don 11 years ago you left us. Our world was a sad place without you The Lord needed an exceptional angel. He found one in you. You were a true man of God with an unbiased heart. Always something kind to say or do, never a cross or mean action on your part, regardless of others action's. We need someone like you down here to spread your love and kindness. It seems like such a short time ago, these 11 years have passed so quickly. The world isn't doing good since you left.
God bless you, be with God I miss and love you. Kay

Don, Happy 99th Birthday. It seems like such a short time since you left us. Still remember Sunday afternoon when you'd come over to dad's house and I'd give you dinner. That was such an enjoyable time, listening and watching you and dad light up when you would talk about old times. Hard to believe mom left in '07, you '08 and dad in '09. Definitely a great loss for me but a blessed one for the lord because he received 3 angels in 3 years. I know all are saved and without any worry or sickness. But it still leaves an empty place in my heart. You were a God's blessing on this earth and a greater one in heaven. God bless you.

Hard to believe it's been 7 years. You were a part of my life because of my dad. Dad gave you your first job when you were fresh out of the service. He didn't need any more employees, but after you came back for the 5th time, he decided if you were this determined you might just be the right guy for the job. That was 1945, you were the right guy, as you and dad were close friends for the rest of your lives. Now You, Flo, Dad and Mom are all together happy, laughing and smiling as you all sit with God . Love you Don
