Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
Don was a caring,wonderful person.
My wife, Dort had breast cancer twenty five years ago. Don and I talked all the time about her cancer. In fact, Don paid for her first wig and always asking if we needed other help...
Dons' friendship was the help we received!

Thank yoU, Donald C.

What memories, what a legacy.... I was deeply touched and blessed by the video memorial. I will be showing it to my parents and sharing it with my brother as well as one of my classes here at the college. It is 1 Thess 4 personified.... Don did not sorrow as others - who have no hope. He believed that Jesus died and rose again.... so he could fix his mind on another time... as the tears fall from my eyes and I drop to my knees, I again commit my life to Christ.
Timmy - I want to see...

Dear Carol and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of Don. He was very kind to me when I went through my battle with cancer, even to the point of taking me into your home so I could be near my doctor and the hospital (back in out Pittsburgh days) Blessings on each of you.

Your laughter could always lighten ones heart, you will be missed by many. Godspeed as you find your peace, Don.
From across the miles, my deepest condolences to the family.

We love you all!! <3

Sending our love to you all and praying that Jesus will give you His Peace to comfort you all because we have this BLESSED ASSURANCE in knowing that one day SOON Jesus will split the sky and raise Uncle Don up from his slumbering place to be caught up to meet Him in the clouds to forever be with our God in Heaven...reuniting with Uncle Don will be GLORIOUS!! <3 Love always, Renee, Larry & Michael (Jubert) Cooper

My deepest condolences go out for the entire Clay family, I was so blessed to have known and worked with Don at Pridgeon & Clay, He was such a devoted Christian/Family man and humanitarian, He will be missed by all who knew him. Goodbye my friend.

Carol, Heather and the Clay Family,

After moving to GR and attending GRJA and Central SDA your entire family was so welcoming. Spending time with the youth group at your house are some of my favorite memories. Don was a special man... someone that I looked up to and greatly admired.

May the Lord grant you peace during this difficult time, and may you know that Don made an impact on my life and the lives of many, many others.

When we all get to Heaven!

Buddy and remember a Lay Advisory weekend at Camp Au Sable where we ate with and got to know Don. What a fine, Christian businessman and father, and so much more! We look forward to meeting him in Heaven.

Much love and sincere sympathy for the precious family members. We will continue to pray weekly for you.
