Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Your Dad was one of the wisest and kindest people I have ever known. He taught me so much about life, including "You always show up no matter what". He loved, cared and valued each member of his family. He fought the good fight with dignity and grace. He will be in my heart forever.

Randy and Family,
It seems so long ago that I can barely remember a time when you and your family were not part of ours. The decision to choose being part of a family is not as simple as being born into one, but I forever appreciate the blessing of having yours extend to ours. This will always be a testament to your upbringing. Just months ago, your father recited a speach he had written for our Father's memorial, touching and heartfelt words that he never had the chance to deliver...

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to the Conklin family on the loss of their father / grandfather. Although I did not have the privilege of knowing Donald, I am acquainted with his family (especially Steve & Randy), and have always been impressed by the Conklin Family.

Requiescat in pace, Donald.

Dear Steve, Randy and all of Don's Family, we had known Don for decades as a Willowbrook Plan Commissioner, as a Village Trustee, as our Tax accountant and most of all as our very special friend. What a fine gentleman and special loving person. He dedicated his live to his family, his Community and his profession. We will always have fond memories of Don. He was a fun guy.

I have been a client / friend of Don's for over 30 years. My husband & I started our business back in 1987, and he has been a mentor / advisor to me from day one. When my son started his business 8 years ago, Don was instrumental in his startup and has been our tax accountant ever since. Over the years, we also developed a endearing friendship. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

Steve and Family, Saddened to learn of the passing of your Father. Everyone knows how much you loved your Dad.

May the Lord Jesus Christ bring your Dad to his Final resting place where he will be reunited with your Mom. Your Dad's guiding hand will always be on your shoulder.

I know that even though you've had a loss, you have some great memories, I trust those memories will give you comfort.

As Timothy Chapter 2 states: Your Dad fought the good fight and...

Steve and Family,

Saddened to hear of your Father's passing. Everyone knows how much you loved your Dad. I know his guiding hand is on your shoulder and will be there forever.

May the Lord Jesus Christ welcome your Dad into his final resting place.

As Mahatma Gandi stated: Wherever you are, your Dad will always be in your heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful Friend and Brother. We will love you and miss you always.
