Birdie and Family it has now been a year and a day since my friend Don has passed and gone on to Glory. Even though some time has passed his loss to me and the world has become even more acute than before. To me that demonstrates the positive impact he had and still has on us. I am sure his uplifting words and citing God's word has and will continue to bring some who do not know God, to God, through Jesus The Christ.
Continued Love for you Birdie,Family and your departed husband Donald. What a Legacy.
Love Herbert & Donna Green

Family,
I am so sorry to have to leave a few words for a man that deserves so many. I must say that I loved Donald Sr. as I do all of you. He was family to me by bond, not by blood. My mother always speaks of how much he loved me as a child and wanted to spend time with me and even wanted to be my godfather. I will cherish all the memories we had while I was growing up. I pray that I can raise my boys to be a resemblance of the man Don Sr. was. He touched many with his kind and easy going spirit. He will be missed. My prayers are with you all. Birdie if you need anything do not hesitate to let me know. God bless.

To Birdie & Family,
I was deeply saddened to her of Don's passing. It is my prayer that you will find comfort in knowing that Don is now resting in the arms of the Savior.
Psalm 49:15 But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to Himself.
Prayerfully,

Hello Birdie,
I am so sorry to hear of Donald's passing. He was such a kind & compassionate person who was always the same whenever you'd see him. I joined the class in the 11th grade & was the "new kid on the block". Donald was very kind & helpful to me as I made the adjustment to a new school.
He was such a gentleman & all around good guy. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. It is my prayer that God keeps you ever in His care!
We are willing to be absent from the body & to be present with The Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8.
Yours in Christ,

Hi Birdie I was thinking about when we came to visit. My father was sick uncle Floyd you so dearly called him. My mother and I could never express how much my dad loved sharing that fishing moment with Donald. I remember the laughter between the two of them. My mom and I will be praying for strength and healing during your time of sorrow. I will miss the smile and jokes.

Donald was a kind and gentle man who loved his Birdie Ann. Scripture reminds us that "Earth has no Sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal." Yet, sometimes the sorrow as in this case will take a long time.

Don, lovingly know as "Nook", will be missed by many. Don, was my friend. Words can't express the loss I feel.
God knows best and I can't question. R.I.P. Nook.
