Dear Kevin, Tim, Tom, Laura, & John,
My heart goes out to you and your families as you go through this transition. I remember your dad for his quiet kindness and his ability to create a feeling of steadfast calm in the midst of storms. He generously sent me off to college with $100 once. That gesture meant the world to a young woman on her own and inspires me to this day. A bright light has gone out with his passing. I hope you will find comfort in the legacy he's left behind. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. Take Care.
Love, Shannon

Thoughts and prayers for Donald Lasaters family. Don was a loving man. I fondly remember him when I worked at Mercantile Trust Co. He was admired by many who knew him. He will be missed but we will meet again someday.

So sorry for your loss! Thinking about all of you. Wrote this about the grieving process.
Not Enough
We say we have so much of it
And yet it's not enough
To do, to say, to share our hearts
Or just the daily fluff.
And though we have the memories
To prove we won't forget,
We still allow ourselves to stop
And find time for regret.
If only we'd done this or that
Or not done that at all.
If only we had taken time
To make that one last call.
But even if we had more time
It wouldn't fill our need.
If we had two more lives to spend
We still would not succeed.
We have to learn to move on past
The grief and pain of loss.
And know that we have loved so well
The folks whose paths we've crossed.
And so we honor them by not
Lamenting the amount.
But, rather, we move on ahead
And make new minutes count.
