It has been 11 years now that I lost my wonderful brother, and 10 years since I lost my bestest friend, Tony. We miss Glen Garden and all the memories we gathered there.

Hello Sally & family - I still miss Don a lot. Had many fun rounds of golf with him and the Glen Garden group. While playing with him in the group there was never a dull moment, Having a cold beverage after the round shooting bull was also enjoyable.
I am looking forward to seeing again soon when I leave this earth.
Best wishes

My heart understands your sorrow and pain. My prayers will continue for you.
The angels are celebrating Don's life and his new beginning in heaven ! God took a wonderful and kind husband and father from this earth but you will meet again, God has His plans. May you be comforted with wonderful memories and God's gentleness.

Sally even though I really didn't know Don, the few times that I was around him he seemed like a great man. Since we have bonded via FB, I have been connected and have kept up by reading, all the times he has been in and out of the hospital and you being there right by his side. You are such a strong person in my eyes. I know we will continue to "like" each others post and will see more of each other at the many gatherings that all us ODW people have. We are all a giant family and I am glad you are part of mine. You have been and will continue along with your family to be in my thoughts and prayers.
