I miss you so much already Duckie. Most people knew you as gruff but I always knew what a sweetheart you were. You had a special place in your heart for me, Mom said it started from the time she brought me home from the hospital. I hope you rest in peace... Fly high 4 leaf!!! With love, your sister Birdie!

To my Duckie. Everyone knows you were gruff but I knew how sweet you were. You had a special place in your heart for me from the day I was born, according to Mom. I enjoyed cooking for you on the weekends and visiting with you when I would deliver your "entres" as you would call them. You were so funny and could make me laugh anytime. I miss you so much already. Your sister, Birdie.

I always enjoyed talking with Don when I went to Evaansville to visit with Paula. We didn't always agree on everything but we had some fun debates. He may have wanted to put out a strong guy front but he had a heart of gold. I'll always remember him for his kindness, generosity and adoring love he gave and received from Adalynn. He leaves a big hole in her and Paula's heart. Sending prayers and love to his family.
