Not sure what to say?

My memories of Don are from NCState and the bookstore.Don was always patient and understanding and could make things happen quickly.He interceded for me so many times .
I never felt like my last minute requests were a burden.He was a constant of kindness and good humor.He has been missed since 2007.
Don made NCState look stellar because he was a stellar human being filled with sweetness.
Please know my thoughts are with you at this time of sadness.

Karen,

It has been many years since our Cary High days, but you have remained one of the ones I remember with much fondness.

Words often fail us when sorrow walks into the lives of those who are special to us. Please know you are in our thoughts, our prayers and our hearts.

May you experience God's comfort and peace as only He can provide during times like these.

With heartfelt condolences,
Tiffany (Florence Sun) May

Karen and all of Don's family, I am at a loss for words at the loss of Don. I worked for years in the college bookstore world and my visits with Don were filled with such laughter. I learned much from him, not only about he bookstore world, but about life. He was always filled with sunshine and laughter. I honestly cannot ever remember him without a smile. The world is a poorer place without him, but Heaven a much richer place with him. I will miss him dearly.

"May the God of all comfort be with family and friends of Donald
(1 Cor.1:3,4)."

Karen,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I appreciate all you and Don did for me when I first moved in nearby and more recently when you notified me of the zoning issue. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I will miss him.

To Don's Family -- I want to let you know how sad I am to learn of Don's passing. I have so many treasured childhood memories of Don that I will never forget! He was like a brother to me, always kind and caring. Even though it's been many years since we have been together, there will always be a bright shining candle in my heart for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
