Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to hear about the loss of Don. I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Don and I taught together for several years at Jones Elementary. He was an outstanding educator and a good friend. My enduring memory of him will be his happy smile and words of encouragement for his students and his coworkers. He will be missed. Julia and family, my prayers are with you. God's comfort as your grieve this special man.

Don was a bright light at Rice Elementary. He was a joy to work with and always willing to help out wherever needed. This wonderful man touched the lives of countless Tyler children in a positive way-especially those with no father figure at home. He will be missed.

Don was a great guy!! Taught school with him for many years at Mattie Jones--always a smile and just a good person. May God's grace be with you and your family.

Julia,
May memories and the power of our wonderful Lord comfort you and your family always.
Love,
Pam and Leslie Hale

Julia, I am honored to have met Don. I know his legacy of laughter, love and family will live on through you and the girls. You are in my thoughts.

Our prayers and love are with you, Julia, and your sweet family.

Julia, Don was a great guy who put up with a houseful of silly junior high girls and always nice to us. I know he loved you so much and can only imagine how much he loved your girls and their kids. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve his passing. He would want you to remember the wonderful times together. Love you, dear friend!
