To the Family of Don Mueller;
I had the pleasure of working with Don for many years at the Indiana Commission. Don had a unique perspective on life and always brought joy to the workplace. He will be missed.

Dear Carol,
I was surprised and saddened to hear of Don's passing. I still remember how he went out of his way to help me when I first started at the Commission.
To me, Don's two greatest strengths were his loyalty and his sincerity. Don also had his share of personal quirks and idiosyncrasies, which even today make me smile. I enjoyed working with him.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Don was a good man.

Dear Carol:
I just learned of Don's passing and wanted to let you know that prayers & long-distance hugs are being sent your way from Indiana.
I can't help but think how happy you & Don were to find each other when you met & married in Indianapolis. What joy you brought into his life. You two were truly blessed to share the time & love you enjoyed together.
I also remember how Christ-centered you & Don both were. I pray that you will feel God's loving presence with you & your family in the days & weeks ahead. Find comfort in knowing that Don is now sheltered & protected by his Lord & Savior.
May memories of all the happy times you & Don shared together over the last dozen or more years replace the pain and, in time, restore the sense of peace that I'm sure eludes you today.
God bless & keep you & the rest of your family safe and well. You're loved by so many!

Carol and Darek
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family.
I just recieved word from a mutual friend that Don passed away. Carol and Darek, I wish I knew the words to adequately express my great sorrow. More, I wish I could find the words to offer you and your family comfort.
I thought the world of Don. He had a wonderful heart. He was kind, caring, thoughtful, and generous. As I read through the letters of condolensence, I am heartened by those that were also touched by Don. He has left a legacy with me and so many others. I shall miss him so much.

To the family of the late Don Mueller:
On behalf of the students of Clark Springs Elementary School, I would like to extend our heartfelt condolence to the family of Don Mueller. We are sadden by the loss of our mentor and friend. Don served faithfully for several years as a "Lunch Buddy" at our school. (Lunch Buddies are very special people. They leave their work site twice a month to mentor, tutor and nuture inner city children.) He was faithful in attendance and worked dillegently with his mentee. Many boys have benefitted from this experience with Don.
I had anticipated having Mr. Mueller included as a Lunch Buddy again this year with the group of workers from the Virginia State Corporation Commission. I just knew he would come through the door with the bunch of them. However, it was not to be. For he has entered "the open door of eternity." Take comfort in knowing that the work he has done, speaks for him.
Sincerely, Margaret T. Howlette, Counselor, Clark Springs Elementary School

To the family of Don R. Mueller~
There are no words that can describe how I felt when I was informed of Don's passing. I considered Don a great friend and colleague. I will truly miss him. He was a blessing to me when he didn't even realize it. His words of encouragement and constant prayers for me and my family helped me through what seemed like the roughest times in my life. May God bless, strengthen and comfort you and your family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My family's prayers are with you and your family. Don was my friend. I will miss him.
But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
