Happy Birthday Don. You will be missed this summer at the campground. We didn't get to know you very long, but happy for the time that we did get together. We will help Patty this summer and keep her out of trouble. Do you think that is possible?
Thank you for the short time that we did have.

Even though your not here for us to celebrate your birthday. I know you are having quite a party up there in heaven! It was such a pleasure getting to know you and Patty. You made the campground so much more fun! You could always put a smile on my face!
Happy Birthday Don!

Dad,
It is still so difficult accepting that you are not here. It would be so wonderful to speak to you again and tell you how much I love you. Daily I think of the influence you have over my life and feel so grateful that you are my dad. You were a great grandparent to Morgan as well. I am thankful for the times that we shared, for your strength, your love and for always being there when I called. With your birthday coming in 1 day it is especially hard. I hope my prayers will...

We write this entry on what would have been Don's 66th birthday. Happy Birthday Don! We know you are looking down at us from heaven. We only recently became friends with Don and Patty but feel we have known them for life. They are our camping buddies. It was such enjoyment to watch the two Don's fishing off the pier and talking about the "old times" around the campfire. Don will be so sadly missed by his new friends and our heartfelt sympathy and love extends to Patty as she moves forward...

Although Don is not here to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, we all need to celebrate the fact that we had the priviledge of knowing Don. Even when Don wasn't feeling well, he managed to make those around him laugh. Thanks for the memories.
