Ken
I appreciate your kind consideration at this difficult time. I reget that I won't be attending services as I expected but extent my sincere sympathy to you, your family and Don's family. I have fond memories of you and Don who had such a good sense of humor and a gentle spirit.

My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the Franklin family. Death of a loved one is never easy, cherish the precious memories you have of your dear loved one. And May your family find comfort in knowing that the God of all comfort can help you cope with your loss.

I remember the day Don and my Aunt Marie came home from the hospital--my first born cousin! That was when they lived right next door on Kirkwood Drive in West Seneca.

In loving memory of Donny, our hearts and prayers go out to the family. Our condolences. May ge Rest In Peace.
