Uncle Don you were truly one of the most compassionate and giving people that I had known. You were such a great Uncle and I had so much fun with you when I was a child. you really knew how to make me laugh and cry at the same time. You taught me how to eat pancakes with peanut butter and I have loved them ever since. You were pure of heart. You did all that you could to help all of us. I truly miss you and I am so sorry for your loss.
Your Niece,
Karen
