When I met you last May you thought I was a just little girl. It seems pleasent to recall it in my mind now. And through the short period I was around you, to me you were Grandpa. You were so very kind and inviting. I know your pain no longer lingers and you soul is filled with the peace of knowing that your stay in heaven is eternal. Praying for all the Siegfried family.

Dear Steve, Christine, Donna and all the Siegfried family...My heart goes out to you all at this time of great loss. Don is the last of the Florence St parents. He was one of the best and gave Gloria, Joe and I lots of advice thru the years. I can rest in comfort that he is in heaven with your beautiful mom Betty and celebrating with my parents, the Stinsons and all his family and friends that has gone before him. I'm not able to make it down there for his celebration of his life...but know I am with you all and praying for comfort for you. Rest in peace Don...you were loved by all. Love you all very much <3
