Donald, Tabitha, and Myrl Ann; so sorry to hear the news. We only knew Don briefly, when we were neighbors on Sun Valley Drive, but we sure did like him. Just sorry we didn't stay in touch over the years.

I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

I never thought I would be so grateful for the mule rides and tractor rides where I stopped to pick up EVERY rock ! Grandpa loved his deer, and they loved him. You don't meet many people in your lifetime that can whistle and deer will come running OUT of the woods. I will miss the updates on the weather and the grandpa hugs and kisses !

So sorry for the loss of Don. Such a great friend and loved his family so much. He is someone I will always love as a family man who loved his children, his brother, his sister and all of his nieces and nephews,. He also loved Myrl Ann who was with him for many years. He is now in Heaven with Nanny and Pawpaw watching over everyone he loved. My sincere condolences to the entire family. Love you all, Jean

I am so sorry about Don's passing. When Ed and Rachel moved to Guion, I think Don was in the 6th grade and I was in the 7th or it may have been 5th and 6th. Anyway he was my first boyfriend. He remained a good friend through high school.
