Yesterday
Don is remembered as a friendly man who is a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He definitely loved and supported his wife and family. He and his wife enjoyed the family gatherings. He worked hard and enjoyed life. He faithfully served at the Donnels Creek Church along with his wife. We enjoyed ministering together during the Strawberry Social, mincemeat making, car shows, Sunday School Class Fellowship Meetings at their home, others´ homes, and at the church. his presence will be missed, but we will meet again in heaven with Jesus when everything is perfect! We are praying for his family, and God`s family that remains until Jesus shouts to take us out! Tad and Vivienne Hobert
