Dear Barbara and family, I am so sorry to learn of Don's passing. I remember fondly the pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi when you and Don were parishioners at St. Clare of Assisi in Houston. Remember the jaunt that the 4 of us took around Assisi to help the 2 Polish girls! Don was such a quiet gentleman and devoted to you, the family, and the Catholic Faith.
God bless him and may he have eternal rest.

Deacon Don had a profound effect on me as I was going through reconciliation and joining the Catholic Church. He was a wonderful, spiritual man and I wish him great love and offer many prayers for his joining Jesus in Heaven. Much love to Barbara and their family. It is never easy to say goodbye to those we love but I have hope that they will all be reunited through the loving grace and kindness of our holy Lord Jesus Christ. May Deacon Don rest in the peace of Heaven and in the arms of our loving God.

I was stunned and saddened to hear today of the loss of Deacon Don. I knew Don for a number of years while I was active member of St. Vincent de Paul at Divine Mercy parish... My thoughts and prayers go out to Don and his family.... Jerry Doolittle
