Don Elias McCauley

Dearest Emily, Betsy, and family, my heart is filled with mixed emotions of loss and joy. I have such wonderful memories of my cousin Don from the day he was born. He came into my life then with a smile that seemed never to end. I loved visiting with you in "Fuquay-Springs" on those Sunday's Mother (lovingly known by you as Aunt Madie), Daddy and I would drive over from Raleigh to visit, and I got to play with you and Don. He was so sweet always, even when he got into trouble for some...

DON WAS ONE OF THE SWEETEST PEOPLE I KNOW. HE TOOK HIS SICKNESS AND MADE A MINISTER OF IT . YOU COULD GO SEE HIM TO CHEER HIM UP AND HE WOULD CHEER YOU UP . HE FOUGHT A LONG FIGHT, BUT HE HAS WON HIS BATTLE AND NOW IS GOING TO HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IN HEAVEN WITH UNCE RED, AUNT WILLA, MY MAMA AND DADDY AND ALL THE OTHERS KIN IN HEAVEN. YOU HAVE WON THE RACE DON. I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH. YOUR COUSIN MARY ANN

May this sweet soul's spirit be remembered and peace given to his tired body.
