Dear Deb and family,
Perry found out about Donnie's passing too late for us to attend services. We send you our deepest sympathy. He was a fine man, a blessing to his family, as you were to him.
He fought the good fight.
Our prayer is for the nearness of God as He wraps you in His arms and brings you comfort.
Cathy Gross and Perry France.

Dear Deb & family,
Thank you for allowing the VNA & VNA hospice, to come into your home for Don. It was an honor and pleasure to be the aide, even if I did get picked & teased on all the time. I appreciated your whole family and thank you for your kindness to me. Bacster always greeted me at the door, and we became friends. To the granddchildren, your grandpa loved you all & talked about each one of you. To him you each were special in your own little way. He will always live in your heart. May God bless each new day. For He will take care of you all. Don's aide & friend,
