Not sure what to say?

May the Angels lead you into Paradise; may the Martyrs receive you at your coming, and take you to Jerusalem the Holy City. May the choirs of the Angels receive you, and may you, with the once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting. And remember my friends, a heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.

To the Poppen family: May God comfort and sustain you in this time of grief. I have many good memories of Donnie at Clark.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your dear ones. May the Lord be your comfort and strength during this difficult time. He will be with you even as He has promised.

I wish to express my sincere condolances to the Poppen Family. We went to High School together and he was a good friend and will be missed by all who knew him.He was always willing to help me with my first car as a senior in High School a 1935 Plymouth . A friend Ray Zahrndt class of 1951

My deepest sympathy to the Poppen family. Don was one of my most favorite patients and judging by other comments he was a favorite to many people. He never complained about anything and was always a happy patient even when I wasn't a happy nurse. It breaks my heart not to be able to say good-bye. He will be missed sorely I can tell.

Donnie was one of those people who could cheer you up just by talking to him. He always had time for a smile and a conversation. What a loss not only for the Poppen family but also for the Whiting-Robertsdale community.

My prayers are with all of you. May God grant Donnie eternal rest and bring comfort to your family knowing that he now lives in eternal...

To the Poppen family,
My sincerest sympathy on the loss of Mr. Poppen. Our community was blessed with a true businessman full of integrity and honesty. He will be missed far more than words can express.

I always enjoyed a visit to Mr Poppen's. He was such a good spirit, and was always willing to help others. I liked getting to visit the garage with my Dad. Mr. Poppen always had a Dunkin Donut to offer and a he knew I liked playing with Mikey.

TO BARB & THE POPPEN FAMILY, OUR SYMPATHY IN THE PASSING OF A TRUE GENTLEMAN, A COMPASSIONATE & HONEST HARD WORKING SOUL. I WASNT ONE OF THE OLE TIMERS I WAS MORE OR LESS A JOHNNY COME LATELY COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER REGULARS WHO HUNG AROUND THE STATION. DONNIE WAS ALWAYS FAIR & HONEST WITH ME AS HE WAS WITH OTHERS. I ENJOYED THE TIME I SPENT IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I WOULD STOP BY FOR A CUP OF "JOE",WITH JOE.J & LISTEN TO THE B.S. FLOW. AS DONNIE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF ME THROUGH THE YEAR I...
