Dear Carol, Donna and David- what a sweet and wonderful man we all had the honor of sharing a bit of time with!!! Many, many fabulous memories of days gone by- from Sonata Lane to fishing trips! Both of your parents have been such shining examples of faithful friendship and loyal family. Don and Barbara both stood up for the right and the good and were inspirational to me in so many ways. My thoughts, prayers and hugs to each of you. We celebrate their reunion with each other and admire the sacrificial care and love, Carol, that you've given for all these years. May Don be honored in the highest capacity today! Love y'all .
