Dear Aunt Marge, Tom and Jeff,

Oh, how we'll miss Don. When I was a kid, Dad always had so many stories about their times together, including driving a Volkwagen into the lake to see if it would float! He surely is having a drink or two with Dad right now. We hope you have some comfort from your memories and your love for him.

With our love and sympathy,

Susan Tompkins

Tom and Jeff, What can I say but your dad is going to be missed, whose going to call me suzy, and threaten to hit me with his club? Your dad was the best, and I will miss his generosity and kindness and all of his stories of your dad and mine from when we were little, I'll see you on Saturday.

Love and kisses,

Jeri Vaughan

Dear Aunt Marge, Tom and Jeff,
I always thought of Don as a big brother. I'll always remember his black 55 T-bird and his diving off the sun-deck at Lauderdale lakes! But more importantly how he just keep going after the accident with his hand. He never gave up. What an example to us all.
