Dear Letellier Family and friends:
I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your loved one Donald. May you find comfort in knowing that God keeps those who pass away in His memory - because they are precious in His eyes.

Uncle Don was one of the kindest, nicest people I've ever known. He was a talented woodcarver, a devoted husband, a wonderful father and grandfather and the best Uncle a person could wish for. I love him and will remember him with fond memories. I am sure he is in heaven playing golf and visiting with family who have gone on before him. Aunt Pat was his angel and devoted herself to him and caring for him. Their love will live on forever. Prayers to her, their children and grandchildren that memories of their happy times with Don will sustain them through this difficult time.
