My dear brother I continue to grieve for you. We were closer than most people know. You are my first memory as a child. I remember the tantrums when I couldn't follow you to your school dances. I was all of 5 years old. You grew up to be a wonderful husband and father. I know we will meet again in heaven regardless of what others may think. I love you with all my heart. Brothers in Christ.

Don, I am honored to say that I'm part of your family. You are more than a father-in-law to me. You are someone I loved, I admired, I respected, and I truly loved to be around. I will cherish all the times we had sharing stories and laughing side-by-side (then we would look around to see if Dessie or Sharon could over hear what we were saying). You are "one of a kind" and my life has become better by just meeting and getting to know you. You will be missed but never forgotten. I love you, Don. Love, Rich
