So sorry to hear about Don. He was a wonderful teacher and person. The kids loved him and he was so patient with them. We both taught with Don, and Carol substituted for Don.

Dear Jack, We were so sorry to hear of your loss of brother Don. As you told me by phone, he had a long battle the past few months on his journey to his final rest. The loss of Don will be for so many very difficult and especially for you. The truth is this - we grieve and feel deeply the loss because we loved so deeply. If we hadn't loved the loss would not sting so much. But we did, and, we shall never regret it for a moment. Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings, Jim and Marilyn Rea
