To the Cohen family:
If the word mensch required a photograph in the dictionary, Donald's picture would be used. From the moment I met him we had an instant rapport that endured for as long as we did business. With Donald there was never a separate agenda - he was sincere, genuine, always looking to help me. May I always represent my family as well as Donald did the Cohen family.

Dear Lillian and family,
Buddy will be missed by everyone who knew him. His humor and goodness will always be remembered...by both humans and dogs!
My loving thoughts are with you all. I will see you, hopefully, next week.
Lillian, I am here if you need me. Love, Sue

Bud was a shining star in our lives. We will miss him so very much. There was never, ever a time in the 35 or so years we knew him that we didn't treasure those moments we were with him or the memory of those moments. He always gave joy, wisdom and kindness to others; he was a great man; we loved him dearly. God Bless him forever and ever.
