Not sure what to say?

Years ago, on a business trip to the Detroit area, I saw an article in a magazine featuring Mr. Don C. Ladd, and his Money Origami. He was a member of the FCM and I was as well. His work was awesome. The magazine was "On The Town" and when I returned home in S.C. I wrote him and expressed how the article about him and his work greatly encouraged me to try an advance in my feeble attempts. Mr. Don mailed me a gracious letter in return post marked Dec. 18, 2000. I thought of him often and...

Don was a special friend & a fellow we all loved & were glad to know. He & Joann were such an interesting couple & had lots of joy to share in all they did & were faithful Christians who lived life with the Lord closely involved. Many miss him & I know hearts still ache from his absence.

My Dear JoAnnie...I'm so very sorry to hear about Don! He's in the arms of Jesus now! My deepest sympathies go to you and your family! Love you ALWAYS! Annie & John Koslowski

Joanne , I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband John and I lived in Shady Acres next to you and I tutored Carl. Fun memories from those days in the early 60's.

Sorry for your loss. It's been many years but I still remember your family.

To our dear friend Joanne - aka Mother Goose -- & her precious family. Our hearts are with you, as we fondly remember Don. We loved his humor & how creative he was with Origami. God gave you two a great life together & loving family & many friends. May you be comforted by their love, caring words & prayers.

Larry, Sadonna & Delynn, as well as your
Friends of the Burton Memorial Library.

Another saint joins our family beyond. We only grieve for those who miss him and remain behind, but only for a short time. God's peace cares for all who mourn and in His time will turn mourning into joy and he will wipe away every tear.

I'm so sorry about your husband Mother Goose my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

My thoughts and prayers for Joanne and family. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know Donn & Joanne from Woodhaven Senior Community. Each and everyone in the family have gained a guardian angel in heaven.
