Terribly sorry to see the passing of Dr. Ball. While living in Marianna we became great friends. We hunted and had a mutual interest in guns. He was a great guy and I know is terribly missed by his friends and family. We will always have fond memories of Dr. Ball!! May God bless you all.
Ms. Teresa, Harry and I send our sincere condolences to you and the family on the passing of Dr. Ball. He was such a pleasure to be around and we know why he loved your cooking! We camp in Lake Village at Pecan Grove and you two came over and ate fish and later he played with his "flying camera" taking pictures of everyone. Sweet memories! We will continue to send up prayers for each of you. God Bless. Harry and Sue.
My condolences to the family. Dr. Ball was a hoot to work with, and a wonderful family to know. I didn't know Dr. Ball or his family well, but they are really good people. I knew them while he worked at Ferguson Rural Health and while they lived in DeWitt for a short time. I sure hated it when they left!! My prayers are with the family and all that knew and loved him.
I am so sorry for your family's loss. Please take comfort in the hope of the resurrection found at Acts 24:15 in your Bible. "May the God of all comfort, comfort you in your trials." (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
My condolences to the family. Doc Ball was the coolest, nicest, most inspiring Dr I've worked with. Rest in peace man.

Rev. William Gay, Dr. Ball was my doctor and I had the honor of working with him, at East Arkansas Regional Unit, at Brickeys. Rest in peace DR.
Dr. Ball will always be remembered as a gifted physician by the nurses that were priviledged to share the medical profession with him. Most importantly his generosity and kindness to rural communities will never be forgotten. He really cared.
Teresa and Family,
So sorry to hear of Don's passing and we will surely be praying that God will ease the pain and help all of you through this very trying time. May God bless and lift you up through the passing days and weeks.

I met Don Ball in 1st grade at McRae Elementary in North Little Rock. We went to school together through 12th grade. He lived on the street behind me on Scenic Hill while growing up. We were great friends!
I’ve thought of him many times and hoped his life turned out well. I’m so sad that he is gone so soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Many prayers for Dons family. Words can't say what we have all lost. We have all had terrific times together and so many great memories. We have watched our kids grow up together and grand kids be born together. I love the entire family and have lost a very very dear friend. May God hold him and keep him. We will see him again. Prayers again for the family.
Dr. Ball was a great and caring man, he was a very kind and caring man and physician, he always made me and my daughter feel at home when we visited. I am glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him and was able to call him my friend. I'm going to miss him. He left a lasting impression on me.
My condolences to the family of Dr. Ball. May you find comfort in God's promises to wipe all tears from every eye (Revelation 21:3,4). Your loved one will not be forgotten and is in God's perfect and limitless memory.
Dr. Ball was such a caring doctor. He will be greatly missed. Our whole area will miss him.
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Ball at Morro. He was a phenomenal man and one of the best ER physicians I have ever worked with. He will certainly be missed. Prayers for the family.
Dr Ball took good care of my family for many years. Teresa you and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers.
I had the privilege of working for Dr. Ball for about a year when I worked for Mainline. He was one of the nicest and most caring doctors I had come into contact with. It was an honor to work for him, even greater to know him. You all will be in my prayers.

In the weeks and months to come may your memories give you comfort. May God wrap his arms around you and your family. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you.
Dear Family,
I am sorry for your loss. We all loved Dr. Ball. Great guy. Brilliant doctor. God bless you in your time of sorrow. May He give you strength and hope to meet each new day.
