Our deepest sympathies to your family. They will live and share your legacy for generations to come.

I remember being with Lisa at their house and looking in on Mr. Merriam making maple syrup. My thoughts and prayer goes out to all of you at this time of sorrow.

I'll always remember when I brought home my school papers you read them and would say, "That's great," whether it was an A or a C. Or my cat died in January when there was 2 feet of snow and you came up to the house and dug a grave through the frozen ground so I could bury her. Or one time you were in the E.R and asked a nurse to get me a blanket or wanted to share food off your hospital tray. You taught me to drive, to fish and how to milk a cow, change a tire, how to have a sense of humor....

A wonderful man and a great neighbor. Rest in peace, Don.

Minnnie,

How deeply saddened we are to learn of this great loss to you and all your family --may your fond memories help you smile again through your tears of sorrow.

Love,

Sally, Slug and family.

I could tell Donald was a very loved man. May your family find peace during this hard time.
